Share the Plate Update
Diverse & Resilient has been selected as the next Share the Plate recipient!
Founded in 1995, this organization is on a mission to achieve health equity and improve the safety and
well-being of LGBTQ people and communities in Wisconsin. The following services are available:
- Anti-violence programs which serve survivors of intimate partner, sexual, and hate- or community-
based violence by working directly with survivors through listening, helping safety plan, and
referrals to inclusive shelters and programs within local communities. This is facilitated through a
statewide warmline: (414) 856-LGBT (5428). - Leadership development which promotes participants to find their power and exercise it on behalf
of LGBTQ communities. - Sexual health programs which focus on disease prevention, healthy relationships, and
reproduction options. This includes addressing how anti-gay and anti-transgender discrimination
can complicate achieving and maintaining sexual health. - Substance use and abuse programming. Prevention includes providing safe zones where alcohol
and other drug use is not encouraged, as well as informing community members about tobacco
and other drug use, corporate targeting of LGBTQ people, and the lack of healthy venues. For
addressing substance use and abuse among LGBTQ youth, prevention includes the use of
evidence-based approaches that provide clear information on refusal skills, peer supports, and
fun alternatives.
In 2024, 82% of their funding was government sourced, but funds cannot be relied upon given the current
administration. Half of the donations for May and June, cash or check, will go to Diverse & Resilient. On
our website www.ucnorth.org you can donate using PayPal or Breeze. Checks should include “STP” on
the memo line. Your generosity in support of the LQBTQ community is greatly appreciated!
