Let’s Use Food to Gather More Often in 2025

Project Gather believes that eating with others can bring joy, build interpersonal connections, and ultimately help solve the loneliness epidemic in the U.S., affecting one out of every two Americans at any moment.

Starting in January 2025, Project Gather will provide resources and tools to empower everyday individuals to connect with ease and build community through food.

Project Gather is inspired by “Recipes for Connection,” a booklet published by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy that offers a wide range of easy ideas and tips for gatherings over food. No matter your style of get-together – small to large, brief to long, intergenerational, accessible – this booklet is designed to help all of us build the confidence to connect.
