LGBT Commuity network started as a not-for-profit organization under the name of Fresno Pride in 2000. It was started because of the few organizations that existed none were publicly accessible. We wanted to be available and make the community’s events and resources available to all online. We believe that without our existence a sense of community and connectedness would still be absent in the area. Being a stable and accessible organization for over twenty years has allowed us to serve countless community members and also share a sense of normalcy that youth look up to as they may be struggling with their sexuality and gender expression.nnOur organization is unique in that it is the only organization that specifically operates throughout multiple cities in California’s most conservative areas.nnOur original mission was only to inform and educate on LGBT+ issues and events related to the Fresno area. Our mission has expanded over the years to include additional cities and also offering services/programs.

Resource and Community center providing workshops social activities educational programs and both regularly scheduled events and annual informational fairs.

Angels of Grace Foster Family Agency is an agency that provides a place of refuge and healing for foster children. A place where they can receive the nurturing and care that they need from professional social workers and trained foster parents. Every day, they are able to draw strength from the human warmth and affection that has frequently been denied to them. Our culturally diverse treatment program provides an array of services to families in order to sustain the needs of foster children. Our goal is to remain focused on the children’s needs and search for a good foster family that will work with them on their issues and at their level. Thanks to the support of many wonderful people throughout the community, not only are we able to meet the physical needs of foster children, but we get to love, nurture and protect the mind, body and spirit of the children we serve.
