LGBTQ CENTER’S FOOD BANK has provided fresh produce, baked goods, proteins, pantry items, diary and more to residents in need of food assistance since 2008. They are open every Thursday evening throughout the year to offer free nutritional food in a clean, safe setting with more than 26,594 people served over the past 12 months.

THE L-FUND has provided emergency financial assistance to ci, trans, and queer identifying lesbians in crisis across the Coachella Valley and surrounding areas. Seeking to provide help beyond emergencies, financial support has expanded to include education assistance, health and wellness aid, and support for lesbian artists. Founded by lesbians for lesbians, they work closely with the community at large to improve the lives of their sisters.

After 30 years of producing quality entertainments events in the San Francisco Bay Area, REAF expanded their programing in 2022 to the Palm Springs/Coachella Valley area to produce events benefiting local charities in the Coachella Valley.  Bay Area events were primarily large-scale, Broadway-style concerts and cabaret shows including their flagship event, “HELP IS ON THE WAY” held each summer. REAF continue to produce these events in the SF Bay Area but also currently produce four annual “House Party PS” events where local homeowners open their homes to host these parties and REAF provides a theme, quality entertainment, bar, silent auction, raffle and other surprises. Since expanding to the Coachella Valley in 2022, REAF has distributed well over $230,000 to local charities who’s focus areas include hunger and nutrition programs, HIV services, and programs that serve and support homeless youth and underserved seniors.
