Project Gather is built on a simple, powerful belief: food can bring us together.
Whether it’s sharing a meal, packing lunches, or baking for a cause, gathering through food has the power to spark joy, foster meaningful connection, and help ease the growing loneliness epidemic — one that affects one in every two Americans at any given time.
Through resources, ideas, and easy-to-use tools, Project Gather empowers people to create moments of connection and build community — all through the universal language of food.

Project Gather is inspired by Recipes for Connection, a guide created by 19th and 21st U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. The booklet offers simple, welcoming ideas for hosting gatherings centered around food — from small potlucks to intergenerational dinners and everything in between. No matter the size, length, or style of your get-together, Recipes for Connection is designed to help us all build the confidence to connect and create meaningful moments through food.
