Milwaukee`s LGBT Community Center hopes to raise $25,000 to keep services going

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) --- A crucial resource within Milwaukee`s LGBTQ+ community for the last 25 years needs help keeping those resources going.

Milwaukee`s LGBT Community Center has been around since the 1990s. Right now, a fundraising campaign is underway to help sustain vital resources.

"We are the largest LGBT community center in Wisconsin," said Ricardo Galaviz, associate director.

At the center, members are provided with various support services, therapy, access to a food pantry, clothing, and hygiene products.

Between resources and fun events, hundreds of people pass through the center each month. The impact is multi-generational, with programming offered for youth and older adults.

For many, the center is a safe haven and a place where being accepted for who you are is never a question.
