NEW HAVEN, Conn — FOX61 has awarded the New Haven Pride Center a $2,500 Making an Impact grant. The center offers a variety of programs and services for the LGBTQ+ community.
“$2,500 is going directly to our youth programming which supports youth ages 12 to 25, our safe spaces, as well as our writing workshops, our real talk conversations we have with our youth, our game nights, as well as extra resources for them, a clothing drive and food and so on and so forth,” said Laura Boccadoro, Communications Coordinator at the New Haven Pride Center.
“A lot of folks are not funding us right now, so getting folks to be able to fund us to provide safe spaces for folks, provide resources like for food, clothing, that costs money,” said TMo Lawson-Dickerson, Youth Services Coordinator at the New Haven Pride Center.
