As we bid farewell to 2024, we’re taking a moment to celebrate the impactful milestones and meaningful progress we’ve achieved together. This year has been one of transformation, resilience, and growth for The Gathering Place (TGP), and it’s all thanks to the unwavering support of our incredible community.
A Bold New Look: Brand Refresh
This year, we unveiled a refreshed brand identity that reflects the heart of our mission, the strength of our vision, and the diversity of the community we serve. With this new look, we’ve been able to connect more deeply with supporters, increase awareness of our work, and solidify our role as a leading service provider for women, gender-diverse people, and their children.
Our rebranding isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about better communicating who we are and why we exist. Learn more about the process and its significance HERE.
Expanding Our Reach: Programmatic Growth

Dedicated to supporting women and gender-diverse individuals, Elati Village provides not just shelter but access to vital resources and services that promote stability and independence.
