EVERY THANK YOU IS MEMORABLE Volunteering has given me a chance to give back to a community, an organization, and a movement that’s done so much for me. I deliver bags of groceries and pantry items to clients who either can’t afford them at the moment or can’t safely get out to make the purchases themselves. I’m thanked sincerely for every delivery, and every thank you is memorable. Every delivery includes a greeting card written by a Center volunteer. People are especially isolated and lonely right now, and a handwritten note reminding them that they’re cared for and part of a larger community goes a very long way.

I’ve had the opportunity to join the Trans Behavioral Health Program to support some of our interns creating a therapy group specifically serving the needs of the Center’s Black clients. I work at the Center because I want to be in a position to help the community and be connected to an organization that cares about justice and fairness— especially toward the LGBTQ+ and other marginalized communities. Working at the Center gives me hope that people can have the resources to survive this difficult time in our history, and also to thrive and become the best version of themselves.
