We are excited to announce that we have officially purchased the building at 1590 Willamette Street in midtown Eugene as a permanent home for The Lavender Network! A generous donor has helped us secure a centrally-located space to support our area’s LGBTQIA+ community which was formerly our Q***r Resource Center off of Arthur St.

Currently located in the Maxwell Community Hub at 440 Maxwell Road, the Lavender Network will move to the new location in late-2025 in partnership with several community partners. We will keep you posted about when our services and staff will be moving over, along with a list of services available from this space.

If you would like to help us beautify the space, sign up for United Way's Day of Caring this week! We will be hosting volunteers this Friday to plant flowers, and prep the grounds for move in. A formal red ribbon cutting celebration is slated for January or February to welcome the Lavender Network to its new home.

Our next dinner is coming up quick! We're looking forward to seeing everyone Thursday, September 25th, at The Lavender Network. We will be in the Fireside Room from 4:30-6:30pm.

This month we're trying to stay cozy and familiar with chicken, roasted veggies, and mashed potatoes with gravy. Our mashed potatoes and gravy will be vegan and we are looking into a vegan alternative to the chicken. Trishia will be making a cookie butter pie for dessert with fruit as a vegan/dairy-free alternative!

House Republicans are proposing a $2 billion cut to HIV funding. This isn't just a setback, it's a potential disaster for our communities.

Don't let decades of progress be erased. Speak up now! Tell your member of Congress: NO CUTS to HIV funding!

There are 2 types of HIV prevention medications--but what's the difference?

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is:
- medication taken to prevent the transmission of HIV
- pill taken daily OR by injection 2-6 times a year
- reduced risk of HIV from s*x by over 90% and over 70% from injection drug use

PEP (Post Exposure Prophylaxis) is:
- medication taken after a possible HIV exposure to prevent infection
- taken daily for 28 days
- highly effective when taken within 72 hours of exposure

To learn more about PrEP and PEP--as well as support accessing these medications--visit our website using the link in bio 🔗
