Started in the winter of 2018 after a group a volunteers saw that there wasn't a space in Ypsilanti for folks to get warm. Partnering with Riverside Arts Center and MISSION, the Ypsi Gathering Space (YGS) is a non-monetized space were those experiencing homelessness, housing insecurity and lack of community can come to get warm, connect to resources and grab a bit to eat. Through the genitourinary of local restaurants  Veg-O-Rama, Maiz, and Bezzy's  YGS was able to provide food for folks to eat while creating art and friends. Due to Covid-19 restrictions we are having to pause our work however we are supporting the Daytime Warming Center Monday- Friday   More information please email us at ypsigatheringspace@gmail.com
