The Pride Shelter Initiative is a Girl Scout Gold Award project in partnership with The Center on Colfax, collecting donations to support homeless transgender individuals through care bags and community resources. This effort provides essential items that promote hygiene, comfort, and dignity while connecting people to affirming healthcare, shelter, and support services. By addressing the unique challenges and discrimination faced by transgender individuals experiencing housing insecurity, this project aims to foster inclusivity, compassion, and understanding within our community. Through outreach and collaboration, we hope to inspire others to contribute to inclusive resources and safe spaces for all.
Donations of practical items make a real difference. We’re seeking new: backpacks, hygiene supplies/toiletries, and clothing such as socks and undergarments. Gender-affirming items like makeup, hair care products for all textures, and new binders or sports bras help ensure every recipient feels seen and respected. Small denomination gift cards to grocery stores are also greatly appreciated.
Please note: we can only accept new items for this initiative. Used items cannot be accepted at this time.
You can provide donations at any time directly to The Center on Colfax, during their open business hours, indicating they are for The Pride Shelter Initiative
