About Us

Our Programs

Project F.A.M.

Project FAM was born out of the desire to bring direct, basic services for LGBTQ+ folks in our society under one umbrella. Project FAM prioritizes the needs of Gender non-conforming Womxn and Femmes of Shade and all Queer and Gender non-conforming BIPOC folks. We know that if we can uplift TWOC, FOC, and QTBIPOC, then we can successfully uplift all in our community.
