Driven by Hope 2026

Because hope should never be out of reach.

At The Gathering Inn, we meet people where they are, inspire hope, and walk alongside them on their journey to sustainable housing.

Every day, more than 500 individuals are actively working toward stability—attending medical appointments, preparing for employment, and taking meaningful steps forward.

They are ready.

But too often, one barrier stands in the way:

Transportation.

The Challenge

Progress depends on access.

Without reliable transportation, even the most important next steps—like a doctor’s visit or a housing appointment—can be out of reach.

Natalie experienced this firsthand. She was ready to move forward, but without a way to get there, progress felt just beyond reach.

The Opportunity

Through Driven by Hope, you can help remove that barrier.

At TGI, transportation is built into each guest’s individualized case plan, providing rides when needed and helping guests build independence through public transit.

For Natalie, access changed everything.

With reliable transportation, she was able to show up—consistently—and begin moving forward with confidence. Today, she feels inspired, full of possibility, and grounded in who she truly is.

Each ride is more than a trip—it’s a step forward.

Your Impact

  • $50 helps provide transportation to critical appointments
  • $150 supports a week of coordinated rides
  • $500 expands access for multiple guests
  • $5,000+ strengthens the system that serves hundreds

Mission

Needs

Through the generosity of donors, lives are being transformed every day at The Gathering Inn as individuals experiencing homelessness take meaningful steps toward stability and sustainable housing.

But too often, one critical barrier stands in the way: getting there.

Without reliable transportation, medical care, job opportunities, and housing appointments can remain out of reach.

At TGI, transportation is built into each guest’s individualized case plan—ensuring access when it matters most, while also helping guests build independence through public transit.

Your gift removes this barrier.

It ensures that when someone is ready to move forward, they have a way to get there—and a real chance at lasting change.
