About GRATEFUL GATHERINGS

Grateful Gatherings is a Berkeley-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that equips apartments and homes for families and individuals moving out of homelessness by providing donated furniture, beds, linens, kitchen items, and household essentials.

Grateful Gatherings has maintained tax-exempt status since 2015 and has grown operations and revenue in recent years to scale its direct client services across the Bay Area.
