June 2021 | Out on the Lakeshore
To celebrate Pride Month, we are very pleased to be donating to Out on the Lakeshore as part of our Shop & Give commitment! This means that OOTL will receive 2% of our total May sales.
Out on the Lakeshore's mission is to provide a constant source of support and understanding to the LGBTQ+ community in the greater Holland area. They seek to create a community in which all persons are afforded equal rights and opportunities.
OOTL's vision is a community that welcomes all people. It is their desire that all forms of discrimination are removed in order to create a safe, open, and accepting environment for the LGBTQ+ community. They strive to provide the education, events and resources necessary to foster understanding, and to advocate within Holland for a community that accepts and embraces all.
Out On The Lakeshore was founded by the board of Holland is Ready and officers of Pride in 2015. An initial goal of Out On The Lakeshore was to establish and manage a LGBTQ+ Resource Center. The Center, in conjunction with PFLAG Holland/Lakeshore provides ongoing and new support programs and a safe location for community members to meet.
Out on the Lakeshore will be hosting Pride events all summer long!
