We’re proud to honor Pride Month by sharing education, resources, and opportunities to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community. Be sure to check out our previous post for a full list of special events happening throughout the month—and don’t miss our vibrant Pride display board (pictured!) highlighting even more ways to get involved. 💖

Our display features valuable resources like:

• SAGE, supporting older LGBTQIA+ adults with advocacy and services

Pride Month is a time to celebrate, learn, and continue advocating for a world where everyone feels seen, valued, and respected. Stop by, explore the board, and join us in celebrating love, identity, and community! 🏳️‍🌈✨
