What Makes Us Different

 

We Are Non-Profit:
For-profit businesses that provide medical services, laser hair removal, and electrolysis are primarily concerned with making a profit; so they tend to give less back to the marginalized community they purport to serve. Choosing who you support directly impacts the entire community, helping more Trans-led organizations flourish. Empowering Transgender people begins with those whose motives are sincere.

We Offer Transgender Services:
The services that we provide generate revenue for direct support to the less fortunate in the transgender, gender non-conforming, and intersex (TGI) community. We provide emergency clothing for LGBTQ abused youth who are seeking a new home. We also provide transitional clothing and rental assistance for those who find themselves homeless or abandoned by friends and family. Our support also includes name and gender-change assistance, guidance with all necessary legal documents, emergency hygiene supplies, food, mental health care, counseling, and hair removal services.

The Transgender Health & Wellness Center:
We are a Transgender-led organization that seeks to empower the LGBTQ residents of Southern California. The transgender community remains the highest in unemployment, job discrimination, harassment, domestic abuse, murder, and suicide. To change this, we urge everyone to support their local Trans-led organization. Here at the TH&WC, we invest more than anyone else back into this marginalized community. But we are at a distinct disadvantage. Trans-led organizations receive an average of 0.015% of each dollar donated to other LGBTQ organizations. Making a difference starts with you.

Volunteer With TH&WC:

We are a Trans-led organization receives an average of 0.015% of each dollar donated to LGBT organizations. The Transgender community remains the highest statistic in unemployment, impoverishment, job discrimination, harassment, domestic abuse, HIV diagnosis, and suicide. To change this, we must begin supporting Trans-led organizations that invest the most back into this marginalized community. The many services that we provide go toward direct support to the less fortunate in the TGI community. We provide emergency clothing for LGBTQ foster children seeking new placement, emergency clothing for those kicked out of their homes, transitional clothing, name- and gender-change legal assistance, emergency hygiene supplies, meals, and mental health services.

Remember, change starts with you.
