The Gathering

A safe space for individuals with special needs.

Mission

The Gathering is a safe, fun, and engaging day for individuals with special needs, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, stroke recovery, dementia, or those who are homebound. Every first Thursday of the month, we host a theme-based "party" designed to stimulate both the mind and body in a welcoming and supportive environment.
