🌈 We believe everyone deserves dignity, support, and access to basic necessities.

LGBTQ+ individuals—especially LGBTQ+ youth and transgender people—experience disproportionately high rates of homelessness, housing instability, and barriers to essential services. That’s why we’ll be at Pittsburgh Pride this Sunday distributing mini hygiene kits and connecting with our community.

We’re looking for volunteers to walk with us and help hand out kits. Together, we can celebrate Pride while ensuring our neighbors feel seen, valued, and supported.

❤️ Interested in volunteering? Send us a message or reach out to any of our board members!

Line up starts at 10am and the parade starts at noon!

Stop out to see us Saturday!! We will have some awesome raffle baskets!!!

Thank you for the amazing response to the foster girl needs!! We have 20 bags that will certainly bring a smile to their faces. We included some skin care, lip mask, spa headband, and our usual items. We also have a generous donation from Kendra Scott in Shadyside to include a special item in each kit.

💜 Special Request for Our Foster Care Girls 💜

We’ve received a special request for 20 hygiene kits for girls currently in foster care, and we would love our community’s help making this happen.

These kits will provide essentials that help girls feel clean, confident, cared for, and supported during a difficult season of life.

Items needed include:
🧴 Shampoo & conditioner, hair brush
🪥 Toothbrushes & toothpaste, floss
🧼 Body wash/soap
🩷 Deodorant, body lotion, body spray
🪮 Hair brushes/combs
🩸 Feminine hygiene products

You can sponsor a kit by donating $30 through Venmo, crowded link in our profile, check or cash to any board member or volunteer.

Here are a few other facts about the young women in foster care:

* In Allegheny County, more than 3,000 youth exited foster care over a 10-year period, and 54% were girls/young women.
* About 37% of youth left foster care without permanent family support.
* Youth aging out of care in Allegheny County often experience instability — averaging 8 different placements while in care.
* Studies from Allegheny County found that many foster youth face challenges with homelessness, mental health services, and access to basic necessities after leaving care.

Thank you for always showing up for our kids. 💕
