Making a Difference Together

“Events like this are a simple way for neighbors to come together and celebrate organizations doing important work in our community,” said Alyssa Filkins, Director of Regional Operations for NorthLakes in Augusta. “The Community Cupboard does so much for local families, and we’re excited to help bring attention and support to their efforts while giving people a chance to connect with each other.”

The Community Cupboard relies on community support to help fulfill its mission of creating equitable access to nutritious food for local families.

“Partnering with NorthLakes for this event helps raise awareness and provides additional opportunities through community partnerships,” said Kati Warner, Vice President of the Community Cupboard Food Pantry.

NorthLakes CEO Ana Tochterman says events like Gather & Give reflect the organization’s commitment to building healthier, more connected communities.

“We know that social connection is a genuine health need, and we want our clinics to be a place where people build community,” Tochterman said. “These events let us bring people together to celebrate something meaningful — supporting local organizations that are doing good work right here at home.”
