The Gathering Place on Good News in the Morning
At The Gathering Place Mission, we believe in more than just providing shelter—we offer hope, dignity, and a fresh start to those experiencing homelessness in Georgetown, Kentucky.
Recently, our director, Heather Johnson, had the privilege of joining Jeremiah Johnson on the Good News in the Morning podcast, a ministry of Grace Point Church. She shared how our mission extends beyond meeting basic needs, helping individuals rediscover their self-worth and purpose through faith and community support.
We invite you to listen to this inspiring conversation and learn how you can be part of this life-changing work. Don’t forget to check out upcoming events like our Coldest Night of the Year Walk—every step makes a difference!
On Friday, April 11, we were honored and deeply moved to stand alongside our community for the groundbreaking of Hope House–a home being built with love, compassion, and purpose. This isn't just a construction project. It's a symbol of what's possible when people come together to invest in hope, healing, and brighter tomorrows.
