The Share the Plate for Sundays November 8 and 15 is the OutReach LGBTQ+ Community Center Rainbow Roof Fund. Founded in 2011 by drag performer Willma Flynn-Stone, the Dane County rental assistance program has provided more than $400,000 in assistance to over 750 LGBTQ+ adults and families for securing or keeping housing. What began as a small, volunteer-run emergency fund that drew support from drag and burlesque performances now provides more than $45,000 annually to help our queer community members avoid eviction, cover a security deposit, or move from homelessness into a safer place to live. Since the program’s inception, the need has continued to grow, as family rejection, discrimination and poverty can put LGBTQ+ people at greater risk of losing housing; and those who become unhoused may also struggle to find safety in shelters divided by gender. Thank you to Deb Myrbo for nominating them.
