Help keep the house open
In 2018, a family whose daughter is trans gave us a two-story house on Oregon Avenue. Since then it's where people come for support groups, groceries, a bus pass, or a quiet afternoon trying on clothes in Alix's Closet.
We run on gifts from people in this city. Each month we deliver groceries to about 30 households and buy Metro passes for people who need to get to work and to the doctor.
Money, food, clothes, and time all help. This page lists what we need right now. For specific items, check out our Amazon wishlists.
