Our Mission

The mission of The Gathering Place is to support, educate and empower individuals and families currently coping with the impact of cancer in their lives through programs and services provided free of charge.

The programs at The Gathering Place address the body, the mind and the spirit. We recognize that everyone has different needs while coping with cancer and we provide programs and services to meet people where they are on the cancer journey; whether you are the person with cancer or their loved one.
