The Donation Difference

---

Gathering Table’s current annual budget is $100,000. That includes insurance, utilities, food expenses, as well as salary and benefits for our Pastor.

We have no telephone, janitor, musicians, secretary, cook or development/fundraising staff. These roles are filled with volunteer assistance. In-kind donations sustain much of the food and clothing ministries.   

About 75% of Gathering Table’s annual budget is dedicated to program expenses rather than administrative and fundraising expenses. Serving over 17,000 meals

each year.

Doing an average of 30 loads of laundry each week for the needy, providing simple facilities where needy people took more than 1,500 showers. 

Distributed more than 15,000 articles of free clothing, and providing fellowship, prayer, pastoral care, and devotions.    

All support for Gathering Table comes from outside contributions and grants.
