Dear Caucus Community Member,

I write this in the hopes that you and your loved ones are safe. The Greater Houston Area has suffered a great deal since Hurricane Harvey hit. If you find yourself in need of assistance, please reach out to me and I will work to provide you with the help you need. You are not alone, your Caucus community will work alongside you.

I know that many of our members have already spent a great deal of time and energy assisting others. Thank you for your kindness and generosity. If you are still looking for opportunities to volunteer and donate we have provided links to opportunities below. Suggestions were made by board members and committee members based on our existing collaborations, our intersectional approach to community work and our commitment to serving the LGBTQ community of Houston and beyond. If you have additional volunteer opportunities and fundraising efforts please share those with me. Although it will take time to get back to our normal routines, know that the Caucus remains ready and committed to fighting for equality for our diverse community.

Best Wishes,

Frances Valdez
