Story
We welcome you to join us for our annual Love on a Mission Gala, which is our major fundraising project for the year. Our theme for this year’s gala is Lights, Camera, Action! If you’re not familiar with our organization, we recognized a pressing need in our local community to give LGBTQ youth a place to feel unconditionally loved, accepted, and supported, when they may not otherwise be. Founded in 2015, our 501(c)(3) non-profit was formed when someone reached out for a young man, a senior in high school, that had to leave his home after coming out to his parents. We currently meet weekly on the second floor of Grace Episcopal Church to offer programs and activities that focus on mental and physical health and self care. Our goal is to have a counselor available once a week for group and/or individual counseling. LOAM is still working towards having our own “safe house” to be able to provide emergency shelter for those that find themselves homeless after coming out to their families. Proceeds raised from this event will provide a significant portion of our budget for this vision.
