Don’t necessarily have to donate this particular center.
But would recommend finding local LGBT Center or Charity.
Marginalized communities are being hit hard, and need all the support they can get.

Food Banks.
I’m not listing a specific one, as we all know of the ones in our specific areas.
Please donate what you can to a Food Bank.
There are millions of people who are food insecure – let’s make sure they can put food on the table.
If don’t have a good Food Bank near you, look for organizations that help feed the hungry.
For example: No Kid Hungry, World Center Kitchen, and many others.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

At No Kid Hungry, that’s our promise. If it sounds simple, that’s because it is.
That doesn’t mean ending childhood hunger is easy. We know what works, and we’ve made extraordinary progress for kids and families.
But the job isn’t done, and won’t be done until we’ve met that promise and every single child in America has the food they need to grow up healthy and strong.
Information: No Kid Hungry
This is one of the charities I donate to monthly. No one should go hungry, and kids are especially vulnerable.
Working across Kenya, our projects include anti-poaching, safe guarding the natural environment, enhancing community awareness, addressing animal welfare issues, providing veterinary assistance to animals in need, rescuing and hand rearing elephant and rhino orphans, along with other species that can ultimately enjoy a quality of life in wild terms when grown.

Today is Lupus Awareness Day so figured good day to highlight a charity that is working to fight this disease.

Our commitment to people with lupus guides our work across the entire research spectrum, from transformative discoveries in the lab to new therapies in the clinic.

While we’re talking about the Ocean and Whales – favorite whale?
For me – that’s hard. Love Humpback whales, the Ocra’s are awesome, and Blue Whale’s are magnificient.
For this month’s charity – I’m besearching those to donate to a local Food Bank.
Food Poverty is more of a problem than many like to state, and though there is not much we can do to leviate the major problems, we can help to make sure that people get the food they need.
Please check out your local Food Bank to donate – I have volunteered for our local one and was amazed at how much they can help with just a few dollars – $1 equals 4 meals.
It’s one of the charities I actually send a monthly contribution to, though lucky to not need the help of a food bank, I know so many do.
October was Breast Cancer Awarness Month I had picked another charity for that month for personal reasons.
So this month we’re showcasing BCRF. For the hope and continued research to find the cure for cancer.

The Orangutan Project was established in 1998 by founder and world-renowned orangutan expert, Leif Cocks, as a result of his 35+ year career working with orangutans – including establishing the most successful breeding colony of orangutans in the world. The Orangutan Project was formed with a key mission; to ensure that Critical Endangered wild orangutan species would be protected against extinction, and would continue to live in secure populations for generations to come.
Today, The Orangutan Project is a dynamic, fast-growing and successful not-for-profit project that supports a wide range of critical projects that address the holistic problem facing remaining fragmented orangutan populations – including fighting deforestation and habitat loss at the highest level.
The projects funded by The Orangutan Project not only include direct orangutan conservation, such as orangutan rescue, rehabilitation and release programs, but also forest habitat protection and regeneration, education, research and local community partnerships. Tying funding into direct outcomes for the species has enabled The Orangutan Project to partner with the majority of orangutan conservation projects operating on the ground today in Borneo and Sumatra.
