In October 2024, on Signal Hill in St. John’s NL, a group of young people volunteered their time to sing this song specially written
for The Gathering Place, to remind us that it can still be a beautiful world, despite everything, when we help one another. Led by Kyle McDavid, of Best Kind Productions, these 18 kids represent hope for a kinder world. #kindness #CanIDream #ChildrensChoir #homelessness
Thousands of people come to The Gathering Place for help. For many Guests, The Gathering Place is their only safe place to go. Some come for a meal or a shower. Others come for medical or dental care or a place to sit and rest. Recently we opened O’Callaghan’s Haven, a 40-bed purpose-built overnight shelter for those who are homeless and have no place to go. We will soon be opening another 52 beds in Mercy House offering transitional and supportive housing.
At The Gathering Place, we believe everyone deserves compassion. But we operate largely on the kindness of others and we need your help to continue. Please give what you can, so we can keep helping the people who so many forget. They desperately need us.
