Dear Friends,

Thank you for supporting LGBTQ+ compassion in action. In this issue: 

• Drag for Cuba: Collection in Castro this Sunday, April 30
• Ukraine Benefit: Saturday, May 20 in San Francisco
• Join us in Guatemala July 20-30

This Sunday, April 30 from 12-4 PM is the LAST DAY OF COLLECTING drag items for Cuba.

In addition to the financial & medical donations that we always bring, this year we are collecting wigs, female clothing, costume jewelry, make-up (new), and accessories for the Trans and drag community. Most Cubans live on or near the poverty level, Trans and drag expressive people simply cannot afford these items. 

We will be taking the items to Cuba on our 9th annual Rainbow World Fund humanitarian aid trip May 11-21. The items will arrive in time for Cuba's Pride celebrations. 

Time: Sunday, April 30 from 12-4 PM

Drop off Location: Rainbow World Fund, 4111 18th Street, San Francisco (above Harvey's Bar)
