More than a food pantry...

Investing in our rural communities...

In Honor of Mark Hamann

Sharon Rennhack Hamann Snow founded The Gathering Source to honor her late husband, Mark Hamann, who had been tragically killed in a tractor-car accident. Mark was known as a gentle giant with a big heart. He was a very generous man.

Sharon wanted to give back to a community that so generously supported her after Mark’s passing. As a mailwoman, she saw first-hand the needs in the rural community. She founded The Gathering Source in 2010 with the simple mission of delivering food to 5 families in need in her community.
