Support QARAVAN

Help LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other identities) immigrants get the support they need. Your gift helps QARAVAN provide food, mattresses, and emergency financial assistance. It also helps pay for legal defense for members in detention and gatherings where newcomers can meet people and find support.

Small, regular donations go a long way. Choose a monthly amount that works for you. Regular gifts help us plan ahead and respond to requests for help throughout the year. One-time gifts are welcome, too.
