Make an Impact Today

In rural communities, affirming spaces are limited.

Many of the young people we serve face:

  • Isolation

  • Mental health challenges

  • Family rejection

  • Food insecurity

Rainbow Connections provides safety, belonging, and stability.

We cannot let this space disappear.

Together, we can ensure Rainbow Connections remains open and available to the young people who rely on it.

HELP US KEEP RAINBOW CONNECTIONS OPEN

Rainbow Connections serves 2SLGBTQIA+ youth and young adults across St. Thomas, Elgin, London, and Middlesex.

For the past two years, we have built:

  • The Queer Qlub (ages 12–18)

  • The Young Adult Social (ages 18–30)

  • The Caring Cupboard

  • A safe community HUB at 15 St. Catharine Street, St. Thomas

Our programs are full.

Our funding ends March 31, 2026.

We need community support to continue.

We Need Your Help!

We are inviting community members, organizations, and businesses to contribute at any level.

Every gift, regardless of size, directly supports the safety, belonging, and stability of the young people we serve.

Rainbow Connections needs people like you to help us keep the lights on and to continue to support 2SLGBTQIA+ youth. Losing this space would increase crisis, not reduce it. Rainbow Connections is community-built. It must be community-sustained.

Rainbow Connections thanks you for your consideration during this challenging time. Organizations and individuals, like yourself, are the the supporters, change-makers, the champions. We cannot continue without your generosity.
