At PROUD, we believe in the power of diversity and the importance of mutual understanding. We are committed to becoming a Safe Place for individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, as well as for all those facing challenges related to gender identity and sexual orientation.

We understand the complexities and trials that many of you face on a daily basis. The need for belonging, understanding, and support is essential for living a fulfilling life. That's why we are dedicated to creating a space where you can feel safe, respected, and loved.

As a Safe Place, our goal is to provide you with:

A welcoming environment: We promise you a place where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. Here, every individual is celebrated for their true identity.

Resources and information: We will provide you with helpful resources, information about LGBT rights, and references to organizations and professionals who can meet your needs.

An inclusive space: We will host events and workshops to encourage conversation, mutual understanding, and the building of connections within our community.

An empathetic team: Our staff is trained to listen, be respectful, and show empathy to all our customers. Please feel free to share your experiences, concerns, and stories with us.

By joining the PROUD family, you become an integral part of our mission to create a world where every individual can thrive without fear of being themselves. We are excited to grow with you and build a space that reflects diversity, love, and solidarity.
