Pride Center of the Capital Region
The Pride Center of the Capital Region has been serving our community since 1970 and is the oldest operating LGBTQIA+ center in the country. This center supports and offers life-changing services to the queer people in our community. Some of our own staff have and do use the services provided!
We are proud to work with the Pride Center on this line of yarns! 20% of the process of our pride yarn will be donated to the Pride Center! These proceeds will go to supporting their multitude of community support groups, youth services, counseling, medical services, training, education, community events, and their business alliance to help LGBTQIA+ small businesses!
Why Is This Important?
Visibility is important. It’s important that queer people of all ages are seen, validated, and supportive. Darn Good Yarn is a community of fantastic creators and we adore our LGBTQIA+ community members and family! This line of yarn is important to bring attention and love to our community!
