On Saturday, October 3, you filled the Roselawn Centre for Gather & Grow Soirée, presented by Meridian Credit Union. All for our neighbours here in South Niagara

Together, you raised over $121,000

That means more emergency food assistance, more hot meals, more school lunch kits and more senior hampers across Port Colborne and Wainfleet. All because of you.
An evening like this takes so many people coming together. From our generous sponsors and donors to the businesses, community partners, volunteers and supporters who helped bring Gather & Grow to life, each of you played a part in making this night an extraordinary success

We were truly overwhelmed by the generosity in the room and couldn't be more grateful to everyone who made it possible. Thank you for showing what we can accomplish together! 💚

Together, our community raised an incredible $121,000 for the Reach Out Centre at our Gather & Grow Soirée
 
It was a night filled with laughter, incredible food, live music and so many familiar faces but what made it truly special was knowing that every conversation, every donation and every bit of support will help make a difference for people in our community
 
The Reach Out Centre is there when someone needs a little extra help putting food on the table, finding support, or simply knowing they’re not alone. This $121,000 will help make sure that support continues to be there when it’s needed
 
To our sponsors, donors, volunteers, guests and everyone who helped bring this evening together: thank you. You showed just how much can happen when a community comes together with heart
 
We gathered, we grew and together, we made a difference! 💙🌱
