Let’s bridge the gap together.

When the sirens fade, the "quiet crisis" begins. Resolution can take months, while the mental toll takes effect immediately. The Gathered Home Collective exists to fill that gap.

The Gathered Home Collective is a non-profit organization* that relies on the generosity of our community to keep the Wayfinder Disaster Recovery System free for every survivor who needs it.

Your support provides the structure and sanctuary families need to exit survival mode.

Ways to Give

Make a Donation

Every gift helps us build solid ground.

Whether you can give a little or a lot, your contribution goes directly toward providing the structure and sanctuary families need to exit survival mode.

Your donation helps us fund:

  • The Head: Fireproof safes, workbooks, and organizational resources that act as a "command center" for the paperwork ahead.

  • The Heart: Weighted blankets, sensory anchors, and comforting textiles that turn sterile temporary housing into a place to rest.

Sponsor a Battalion

Align your organization with local resilience.

Adopt a zone of care in Franklin County. Fire service in our county is divided into Battalions—geographic zones that cover specific neighborhoods and communities.

  • The Impact: By sponsoring a Battalion, your organization ensures that every household displaced by fire within that specific zone receives a Wayfinder System.

  • The Benefit: Direct, measurable impact in the neighborhoods where your employees and customers live.

Give Your Time

The gap is bridged by hands, not just funds.

Join the "Gather" Team. It takes a village to restore a home. We rely on volunteers to help us physically assemble the Wayfinder Boxes and curate the Sunrise Kits.

  • Assembly Days: Join us to pack kits, organize inventory, and prepare resources for deployment.

  • Community Outreach: Help us spread the word to local fire departments and community centers.
