What it means: Gather serves the seacoast communities by providing nutritious food to those experiencing hunger through innovative distribution programs. Currently, Gather serves Hampton through its Meals4Kids program. The requested funding would allow the non-profit organization to offer food to all through Gather’s Mobile Market. In addition to approving the donation for the current year, the voter is asked to have the agency added to the list of donations to Social Services agencies in the next legislative cycle as well.

Those in favor say: With recent economic changes, more people find themselves and their families to be food insecure. Gather is a good organization that fills an otherwise unmet need in the community.

Those against say: No one spoke against this Article at the deliberative session.
