Gather Gives Back
#GatherGivesBack is important to us at Gather Group & Co because it’s our way of saying thank you to the community that has supported us from the very beginning. When we started Gather, we had a vision of creating a space where people could come together to connect and share their passions. That vision would not have been possible without the support of our friends, family, and neighbors. That’s why giving back is such an important part of who we are. Whether it’s through our annual Toy Drive or our partnership with other local groups, #GatherGivesBack is our way of showing the community that we care. We’re grateful for the support we’ve received, and #GatherGivesBack is our way of giving something back.
Thank you for supporting us!
DEDICATION | LOYALTY | KNOWLEDGE | EXPERIENCE
#GatherGivesBack 2022 is HERE!
The 2022 #GatherGivesBack Annual Toy Drive hosted by Gather Group & Co. is back, and we couldn’t be more excited! Once again, we are partnering with the United States Veterans Corps, and Toys for Lil Troops to collect new, unwrapped toys specifically for children of low income and deployed troops. We will collect donations of toys from the beginning of November through the beginning of December, and capping our Toy Drive off with our annual #GatherGivesBack Holiday Toy Drive & Jeep Convoy where we make one final push for toy donations, and embark on a holiday convoy filled with Jeeps and other vehicles decorated in holiday lights through Wake Forest neighborhoods to spread holiday cheer to children and families.
Gather Group & Co. is committed to giving back to the community, and our annual toy drive is just one way that we hope to help make a difference.

2022 #GatherGivesBack Convoy Information
Thank you for joining us!
Please remember the following:
1) We will have police assistance with intersections to keep us together, if an intersection is not blocked, you must obey the traffic laws. We may get split up, that’s okay, follow the route until you catch back up. Don’t break the traffic laws. This is a shared road event.
2) DO NOT THROW ANYTHING FROM YOUR VEHICLE. We understand the temptation to throw ducks, candy, etc. to families watching the convoy; It will be dark, it’s not worth the risk. Anyone witnessing individuals throwing anything from a vehicle, are asked to report the license plate to us to pass on to authorities.
SAFETY WILL BE OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY
3) We encourage everyone to play radio station 95.3 so we are all playing the same holiday music however, please do not play your music excessively loud. Please be respectful of our community and neighbors.
4) Be patient, be understanding to hiccups, and HAVE FUN!
Please Share your photos using #GatherGivesBack
