Pittsburgh LGBTQ Charities (PLC) is teaming up with local LGBTQ organizations to end the year on a positive and affirming note – distributing gift cards to queer and trans teens, ages 12-21, who are participants in those programs.

As part of our #ProtectTransKids projects from 2022, PLC is working with the community to end the year with a little holiday magic. We are collecting gift cards to distribute to LGBTQIA+ teens ages 12-21 in partnership with local queer and trans led organizations. Our hope is to reach 200 youth in partnership with groups like Pittsburgh Public Schools GSAs, Project Silk, Proud Haven, PFLAG Families Like Ours, and more. We will update the list as other groups register to receive cards for their youth.

This has been a very challenging year for our youth who have often been targeted by extremist policies and disinformation campaigns – they deserve to end the year on a loving and supportive note, not as political footballs. This is not about financial need. This is about being the adults in their lives who understand the toll this rhetoric takes and doing something proactive to resist, regardless of their other privileges. 

You can donate a gift card in any amount and we will make sure it gets to them before the end of the year. 

PLC suggests these retailers and vendors. 

E-gift cards can be sent to folx@pghlgbtq.org Physical gift cards can be mailed to 1439 W. North Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15233. Please notify us before dropping them off in person.
