The Bronx LGBTQ Center will hold its Family
Holigays program in
celebration of Christmas and Kwanzaa on Thursday, December 26 from
2-6pm at the First Lutheran Church of Throggs Neck
(3075 Baisley Avenue , Bronx, NY). Family Holigays is a program of
the center featuring pot-luck gatherings to celebrate the major
holidays throughout the year.
Unfortunately,
many within the LGBTQ community are still ostracized by their
families and friends because of who they are. These pot luck
gatherings offer a welcoming celebration of the major holidays
throughout the year to provide support to everyone in our
communities, especially the marginalized and ostracized. It is hoped
that the feelings of loneliness such community members often face
will be lessened in what otherwise would be a celebratory and joyous
time.
While
there is no cost to attend the Family Holigays celebration for
Christmas and Kwanza on December 26th,
registration is requested to help coordinate the food for this
pot-luck event. Donations are always appreciated and welcomed. For
more information about the event, including the unwanted gifts Secret
Santa, and to register, visit
