IMPACT &

BIG DREAMS

People Like Us is just getting started in serving the 2SLGBTQIA+ community of Wallowa County and beyond.

Thanks to the generosity and support of the community, partnerships, private donors, and foundations, in the past three years, we have:

  • Contributed thousands of dollars of support to Wallowa County 2SLGBTQIA+ community members for rent, groceries, transportation, and gender-affirming care

  • Started to pay all support group facilitators

  • Hired a Community Engagement Coordinator

  • Put on regular community-building events

  • Started two new support groups - our Out and About support group for older adults and our Trans and Nonbinary support group

Looking into the future, our biggest dream is to find a physical space to call our own. This would allow us a steady, safe, confidential space to host support groups and fun social events. It would also provide a hub for our Little Queer Library and Out of the Closet queer clothing closet. 

If you have expertise or connections in fundraising, grant writing, or real estate and would like to help us support this goal, please reach out.
