Supporting The Gathering Place

All proceeds from the tournament will benefit The Gathering Place, a long-standing community food distribution centre that has provided nourishing meals to those in need for more than 20 years. Serving over 100 meals each day, The Gathering Place offers not only food security, but a compassionate, welcoming environment rooted in dignity, respect, and care.

To date, participation in NPSC’s Charity Mixed Volleyball Tournament has helped raise over $7,600 in support of The Gathering Place’s mission.
