Today, we remember the 49 lives lost at Pulse Nightclub on June 12, 2016, and honor the survivors, families, and communities forever impacted by this tragedy.

As we reflect, we recommit ourselves to building communities rooted in love, acceptance, dignity, and belonging.

May we never forget those we lost, and may we continue to stand together against hatred in all its forms. ❤️

Holiday with Heart was proud to serve as sponsor of the Adrian Diversity Event Fund's Pop-Up Holocaust Museum. In addition to sponsoring this impactful event, members of our board had the opportunity to attend and experience firsthand the powerful stories, history, and lessons shared throughout the exhibit.

The museum created a space for learning, reflection, and important conversations of hate and the importance of inclusion, empathy, and respect for all people.

We are grateful to have been part of an event = that brought out community together and inspired meaningful dialogue for generations to come.

We are proud to announce the approval of a $3,710.91 grant to Equality Toledo to support the purchase of a new freezer for their Community Pantry.

This funding will help ensure thousands of households continue to have access to fresh and frozen food through a welcoming, inclusive pantry that serves the LGBTQ+ community and others facing insecurity throughout our region.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors.
