Looking to Donate during Building Closures? 


During the building closure, you can continue to donate online via our secure donation form. You will not be able to donate in person or by phone only during that time.

Every year, we are amazed by the support we get from our donors. You have come together for us in our most tough times, and we hope you will do that again this year. LGBTQ2S communities’ needs are increasing. But funding for critical services is decreasing. Help us fill the gap. #FillTheGap
