Gatherings 4 Main Street We are an all-by-donation restaurant and community center run by volunteers - open
Wednesdays - Fridays from 11:30 AM- 1:30 PM right here in Dexter, Maine, USA

* Wednesday through Friday *


OPEN for lunch 11:30-1:30 am. We have a plant-based seasonal menu that our chef creates herself, with a focus on delicious flavor combinations. Please don't let that (plant-based) stop you from stopping in and giving us a try. We have plenty of avid meat eaters that come in and enjoy the food. We are 100% by donation, we do have listed suggested donations on our menu

. Our suggested donations just covers the food cost, as we understand eating out is difficult for many right now, and we would love to make this food available to as many people as possible. We are able to operate this way because of the amazing people from all over central Maine that volunteer their time here, and because people are willing to come try something new. Tuesday night we hold a Bible study/ discussion at 6:30pm. We are just reading through the Bible together. ALL WELCOME! To sign up for the next weeks menu and other activities; send us an email and type "menu please" in the subject line and send it to [email protected]. We will send you weekly updates on what we have going on in Gatherings. Gatherings dinning room space available for rent. We keep Sundays open for this purpose but maybe able to scheduled other days (Fridays and Saturdays are unavailable), money goes towards running costs. So if you don't have a large space to have your family over for the Holidays this might be the perfect option for you. If interested please email us at [email protected]

Look forward to seeing you soon!

Today (Friday) is the last day to try our lasagna and tomorrow at 6 pm is our monthly singalong šŸŽ¶ where we get to praise the One who is our Provider, who enables us to exist. šŸ™ŒšŸ¼ We serve the Creator by serving all of you!

FYI Gatherings will be closed the last week of this month (June 24-26), as we are going to Faith Fest in Freeport. You are invited! Come check out all the happenings at https://www.faithfestfreeport.com

Itā€™s worth the trip for a 75 minute tour of the Messiahā€™s Mansion alone, not to mention all the other things happening there.

Wow, you guys really showed up yesterday for the lasagna!

Donā€™t worry, we went back and did more shopping and cooking yesterday so we can do it all again today and tomorrow.

Weā€™re refining our process to be more efficient and prepared for the rush.

This is such an awesome learning experience, taking on a new challenge every week with a different special when we donā€™t know how many customers weā€™ll have or how many volunteers weā€™ll get to prepare and serve them. Plus, weā€™re learning and making new recipes to add to our repertoire.

So far God has provided and we trust He will continue to do so. The only way we find out what weā€™re capable of with His help is by stepping out in faith and doing it. Pretty fun stuff.

Yesterday, a group of church ladies came to eat here after touring the peony garden in St. Albans and a couple of them jumped in the kitchen to help us get through the rush. They have both volunteered with us before.

Itā€™s so cool to see how the Holy Spirit moves on peopleā€™s hearts to be willing to help. Itā€™s a joy to be on the front lines and have a chance to mingle with the community through this ministry.

We love all of you and weā€™re thankful for you.

Our special this week at Gatherings 4 Main Street is lasagna. If you donā€™t come try it, youā€™re going to miss out. Thatā€™s all I can say. Gatherings is open for lunch from 11:30-1:30 Wed-Fri, so if you can come during that time and give it a try, weā€™re sure youā€™ll be glad you did.

Over the course of the week weā€™re planning to have several varieties: one for the mushroom lovers, one for the protein lovers, and one for the veggie lovers. It comes with garlic bread or toasted baguette and a small salad while supplies last.

Wendy and Alilia did several hours of prep today after shopping for all the ingredients for our menu. The mushrooms are ready. The sauce is ready. Please appreciate that weā€™re making everything from scratch that we can, including the cheese. We simmered the pasta sauce for 1 1/2 hours and it tastes amazing.

Weā€™re all volunteers and we hope you can taste the love in the food that we make for you.

We make it as healthy and tasty as we can. Your cardiovascular system will thank you for eating our food.

If youā€™re not sure whatā€™s unique about us, just ask. Weā€™re happy to share more information.

This coming Saturday night at 6 pm, join us for our monthly singalong.

Our special this week at Gatherings 4 Main Street in Dexter is a vegetable korma over rice. Itā€™s a delicious and filling mixture of colorful vegetables in a creamy coconut milk curry with undertones of ginger. The potatoes will give you energy for hours!

We also have a little something for dessert if youā€™re so inclined: drizzilicios mini rice cakes!

My small bowl of korma gave me so much energy that I was able to go for a canoe ride on Lake Wassookeag after lunch with one of our volunteers followed by a 17 mile bike ride to Corinna and back on the rail trail. It was a beautiful day!

What did you do to enjoy the sunshine ā˜€ļø yesterday?
