38 years of Giving…

It all begins with a single fundraising luncheon each December.

A cherished tradition for Good Friends and its supporters, our annual fundraising luncheon brings the community together to celebrate how small acts of support and kindness can create profound change. Small donations when combined with the generosity of many can drive life-changing support for those in need. In just one hour, the impact of Gather and Give extends far beyond the event, creating a ripple effect of kindness and solidarity. Because, just like good friends do, we lean on each other and lift each other up—transforming lives in ways that last a lifetime.
