We Are Unapologetically Alive

In a time when LGBTQIA+ people and other marginalized communities are being pushed to the margins through legislation, misinformation, and fear, Heart of Winona refuses to disappear.

We are unapologetically alive, showing up for one another with care, joy, and collective power. Our existence is not a trend, a debate, or a bargaining chip. It is a fact. And our communities deserve to live fully, safely, and openly.

This year, as Heart of Winona celebrates two years of building community care in Winona, we recommit to what has always guided us: community saves lives. Together, we are not just surviving, we are living.

​

The future of Heart of Winona isn't built by one major donor, it's built by a community that believes everyone deserves to belong. If every person in our network committed to just $10 a month, we could fully fund our year-round programs while creating new opportunities for connection, celebration, and support. Small monthly gifts become something extraordinary when we all give together.
