Bringing Hope to Those In Need

Bringing Hope to Georgetown, KY with Faith and Compassion

Our Services

We offer haven of hope and compassion for individuals experiencing homelessness. With a focus on dignity and long-term transformation, we provide essential services and critical support for those in crisis. Guided by our commitment to living out the Kingdom of God, we treat every person with the respect and care we would desire ourselves. Our mission goes beyond immediate aid, striving to empower individuals with tools and opportunities for lasting change—offering a hand-up rather than a hand-out, and restoring hope and dignity to those often unseen.


A Path to Self-Sufficiency; A Community of Support

We offer more than just shelter - we provide hope, stability, and a supportive environment where residents can rebuild their lives. Every man who stays with us is welcomed into our self-sufficiency program, with no time limit on their stay. Here, they can focus on their personal growth, work toward their goals, and prepare for their "forever home.

A Safe Space for Women and Children

We welcome women and their children, aged 17 and under, into a secure, nurturing environment where they can begin rebuilding their lives. At The Gathering Place, we focus on more than just providing shelter - we offer the tools, resources, and guidance necessary for women to achieve self-sufficiency for themselves and their families.

Nourishing Bodies, Uplifting Spirits

At our community kitchen, we serve nutritious meals to anyone in need, ensuring that hunger is not a barrier to hope. More than just a meal, it’s a place where community comes together, creating connections and fostering a sense of belonging.

Meeting Immediate Needs with Compassion

When emergencies strike, we provide essential hygiene supplies, clothing, and other critical resources. Our team works tirelessly to address urgent needs, offering support and care to help individuals regain their footing during challenging times.

Nurturing Both the Body and Spirit

We emphasize spiritual practices as a vital part of personal growth. Through weekly church attendance, daily devotions, and regular Bible study, residents have the opportunity to strengthen their faith, find encouragement, and build a strong foundation in God’s word.

More Than Shelter—Providing Stability, Support, and a Fresh Start for Those in Need
February 25, 2025
On February 22, our community came together for the Coldest Night of the Year walk, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible support! Despite the chilly weather, dozens of participants joined us to raise awareness and funds for those experiencing homelessness in Georgetown, Kentucky.  A special thank you goes out to the Loyal Ladies Group, whose dedication and fundraising efforts made a tremendous impact! Their generosity and commitment to our mission helped ensure The Gathering Place can continue providing shelter, support, and hope to those in need. From all of us at The Gathering Place—thank you! Your kindness reminds us that, together, we can bring warmth and hope to our community, no matter how cold the night may be.
