We extend our sincere gratitude to and the dedicated volunteers from their Employee Resource Group for helping make Q***r Joy 2025 even more special. This holiday season, their team generously donated and gift-wrapped items to help ensure the LGBTQIA+ youth and young adults we serve felt seen, supported, and celebrated.

The holidays can be a challenging time for many q***r and trans young people. Thanks to Kia’s thoughtful contributions, we were able to create a warm, festive, and welcoming environment where youth, families, and young adults could come together to share moments of joy, connection, and holiday cheer.

We are truly grateful for commitment to uplifting our Orange County community and for helping us spread a little extra joy this season.
