Dear LGBTQ+ Community Members:

​

OutReach LGBT Community Center has been closely monitoring the recommendations of elected officials, public health institutions, and other organizations concerning the response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) worldwide pandemic.

​

To protect the health of our clients, volunteers, and staff we have made the following decisions effective immediately:

​

• OutReach’s public educational programs have been cancelled through April

• The social and support groups held at our offices will be postponed until further notice.

• Our offices will remain open noon to 7 pm weekdays for calls and online assistance. There will be no walk-ins until further notice.

• Some of OutReach's Social and Support groups are meeting via Zoom. Please click HERE for the information

• Willma's Fund is still in operation. If you need assistance, please call offices M-F from Noon to 7pm at 608.255.8582 or email brianp@lgbtoutreach.org

• Our Safe Communities Recovery Coach, Ryan Mueller, can be reached for consultation by email at rmueller@safercommunity.net or by phone: 608-658-4454.

​

The main symptoms of COVID-19 infection are fever, coughing, and difficulty breathing. If you experience these symptoms, call your doctor. Isolate yourself as much as possible. Inform people you interact with of your illness.

​

Please follow these recommendations from the CDC to prevent the spread of the virus:

​

• Wash hands frequently with soap and water or alcohol-based hand rub

• Cover nose and mouth when coughing and sneezing with tissue or flexed elbow

• Avoid close contact with people (3 feet minimum)

• Avoid touching your face, especially your eyes and mouth

• Avoid group settings as much as possible

​

OutReach will continue to monitor the response to the pandemic and update our policies as needed.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

​
