We are continuing our ongoing OUAI It Forward 2025 initiative with The Los Angeles LGBT Center through providing essentials as their exclusive housing product sponsor. In honor of Pride month, we are also pledging $100,000 to the organization.
We aim to help The Los Angeles LGBT Center on their OUAI to build a better world, a world in which LGBT people can be healthy, equal, and complete members of society.
Here’s how these efforts make an impact:
-
Provides 500 sets of hygiene products for street-based unhoused youth ($10 each = $5,000)
-
Funds 400 chest binders to help youth affirm their gender identity ($25 each = $10,000)
-
Supplies 300 bedding sets for youth in transitional living programs ($50 each = $15,000)
-
Covers school supplies and textbooks for 200 youth seeking higher education ($100 each = $20,000)
-
Provides 80 youth with two weeks of meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) ($250 each = $20,000)
-
Furnishes 60 apartments for youth moving into new stable housing ($500 each = $30,000)

SUPPORT OVER THE YEARS
Our work with The Los Angeles LGBT Center began in 2021. Each year since, we have made a monetary donation to the organization and supported through other initiatives including, selling merch where 100% of proceeds went to support their efforts and a 2023-2024 internship program to help give hands-on career experience to members of the LGBTQ+ community.
