Gather Together Grow Together (G2) provides 2 types of service on a daily basis to Kitsap County residents. 

1.  Our Transportation program significantly reduces client commuting time, reduces client tardiness and appointment cancellations, broadens transportation coverage area and hours through efficient pooling of resources. G2 provides a door-to-door service for low-income and unhoused clients to save time and money. This allows them the opportunity to take advantage of school, employment, training, quality family time, focus time on sobriety, and other benefits. 

Due to our growth we are looking for funding and donations to build our fleet so that we can continue to help Kitsap County and not have to turn so many away. G2 currently has 8 vehicles in our fleet with two being wheelchair accessible.

2.  Our Client services; the G2 team is here to help support our clients with navigating social services in our community and helping them gather and fill out documents, applications and/or forms. Clients can receive access to our computers for filling out applications, looking for work, creating resumes, etc. G2 prides itself in asking questions and listening to the clients so that we can understand their needs and be able to help them with more than just what they originally came in for, by doing this we are able to offer referrals to and/or information on other organizations that are better suited to help with their specific needs. With Organizational support and grants G2 has also been able to help supply goods to our community members who need them the most. G2 has also supplied hot fresh meals to over 4,800 individuals and families a year from 2018 to 2023.


Mission

Gather Together Grow Together uses creative solutions to bridge the gap between low-income residents and services in Kitsap County.

Needs

G2 is in need of more vehicles, due to our growth we are looking for funding to build our fleet so that we can continue to help Kitsap County. G2 currently has 8 vehicles in our fleet with two being wheelchair accessible. not only do we not have enough for the work that we do but we have two on their last legs. We are looking to get a third Wheelchair accessible van and two other vehicles that could be wheelchair accessible or not.

G2 is currently looking to raise enough money to move to a different building, on the first floor or with an elevator, so that we have better accessibility for some of our clients. We are also looking for the funding to restart our meal programs as people are calling us on a daily basis looking for this.

We would like to be able to offer concrete goods for some of those who need them. There are a lot of things that other organizations help with, for instance EBT/Food stamps will buy food, there is an energy assistance program, rental assistance, etc. But what about things like toilet paper, shampoo, toothpaste, cleaning supplies? These are just a sample of things that people need on a daily basis and if you are trying to pay your rent some times you are going without these much needed items.
