The Gathering Place is doing what it can to help marginalized people through the current State of Emergency.
Director of Social and Clinical Programs with the Gathering Place, Ashley MacDonald, says many of the people who avail of their services have no means to get the latest information on the State of Emergency and get the help they need.
They have people coming to them who haven’t eaten for days and who are out of the loop and don’t know where to go or what to do. They have people asking about warming stations and access to food banks, and it’s still difficult to get answers.
