Tuesday’s fashionably late ribbon-cutting at The Frederick Center was a moment I won’t forget. As Board Chair, I’ve watched our team of staff and volunteers pour their hearts, sweat, tears, and countless hours into creating a true home for our LGBTQIA+ community. Seeing everyone feeling so at HOME was everything. 🏳️‍🌈💕

I couldn’t be prouder of our staff, volunteers, and Board. I am so grateful for Kris’s leadership as executive director. The Frederick Center is growing, grounded, and ready for what’s next. 🧡

Our mission has always been simple: everyone belongs. And now, with this new Center open, we are living that mission with even greater impact.

Thank YOU to EVERY volunteer, donor, staff member, partner, and community member who helped make this possible. You’re part of every story of courage, connection, and celebration that walks through our doors.

Here’s to growth, joy, and another year of showing Maryland what belonging looks like. 🌈✨
