Join the We Serve with Love Campaign
NJHSA is proud to serve as a national ally of the We Serve with Love Campaign, led by the National Center for Lesbian Rights. Launching on June 15th, the campaign seeks to demonstrate that faith-based service organizations and programs are ready to serve low-income LGBTQ people and families with love. More specifically, the campaign will raise awareness of LGBTQ-affirming faith-based service providers, educate faith-based service providers on how to offer LGBTQ-affirming services and programs, and increase understanding in the faith-based service provider community of how poverty impacts LGBTQ people.
