LGBT Resource Center suspending events and groups

-

Given the ongoing health crisis of COVID-19/Coronaviru­s, Imperial Valley LGBT Resource Center has made the decision to suspend, effective immediatel­y, all support groups, events and activities until the end of March.

We are balancing the needs of our community with the realities of preventing the transmissi­on of COVID-19/coronaviru­s that is a threat to elders, people with chronic conditions, and people with compromise­d immune systems.

Imperial Valley LGBT Resource Center will open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. to assist with immediate needs. If you must contact us, we will also use digital forms of communicat­ion. You may reach us by calling us at (760) 592-4066 and leave a message and we will call you back as quickly as possible; email at info@ivlgbtcent­er.com and your message will be forwarded to the right person, or send us a message on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ivlgbtcent­er/ or Instagram @imperialva­lleylgbt, which we will be checking regularly.

Imperial Valley LGBT Resource Center is here to ensure that the people in our community have access to us, other necessitie­s, social connection, mental health support, overall health support/referrals, and safety planning.

Imperial Valley LGBT Resource Center staff and volunteers are mobilizing to fill the gaps as other organizati­ons suspend services, as people are quarantine­d, and as in-person, services are reduced.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out.

CEO, Imperial Valley LGBT Resource Center
