    Where Is My Donation Going?

    Every dollar raised through Run with Pride directly supports QX’s 2SLGBTQIA+ Community Hub Program — London’s only dedicated, year-round, sober, intergenerational, identity-reflective space led by and for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

    Through the Community Hub, QX provides:

    • Low-barrier mental health programming

    • A gender-affirming clothing closet

    • A food pantry

    • Drop-in space

    • Over 10 ongoing, free community programs such as peer support, seniors meet ups, rainbow families groups, crafting socials, book club, CommuniTEA and more!

    QX supported 1,500+ community members in 2025, including 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, families, adults, and seniors seeking connection, safety, and belonging.

    Your support helps keep the QX Community Centre doors open, expands access to programs and services, and ensures that queer, trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse folks of all ages always have a trusted place to turn to year-round.
