🗓️On October 19, we join the nation in celebrating LGBTQ+ Center Awareness Day — a day dedicated to honoring the essential role that LGBTQ+ centers play in offering safe spaces, resources, support, and community across the country. CenterLink+2National Today+2

In a moment when LGBTQ+ rights and services are under pressure in many regions, local centers remain beacons of resilience. They offer counseling, support groups, legal referrals, cultural programs, and so much more — often stepping in where systems fail. Snohomish County+2GR LGBTQ+ Healthcare Consortium+2
At LGBT Senior Housing and Care, we view LGBTQ+ centers as vital partners and extended family. Many of our elders have turned to these centers for decades — for companionship, health support, and affirmation. Our mission is aligned: creating caring, affirming housing environments that echo the refuge these centers provide.
This Awareness Day, we invite you to:
● Recognize and uplift your local LGBTQ+ center
● Volunteer, donate, or amplify their work
● Reflect on how community networks have shaped queer elder care
When LGBTQ+ centers thrive, the whole community gains. 🌈 #LGBTQCenterAwarenessDay #CenterLink #LGBTSeniorHousing #CommunityCare #SupportYourCenter
