Makeda Richardson, chair of the board of directors of MoCo Pride Center, Inc., and CEO Phillip Alexander Downie welcomed the community to the center.
“Today, Aug. 30, we are making history together,” said Richardson. “With this event and ribbon cutting, we officially open the doors to the Montgomery County Pride Family Resource Center — the first LGBTQIA+ resource center in our county’s history.”
The Montgomery County Pride Family Resource Center is located on the second floor of the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center and is open seven days a week, funded through donations, grants, and community support.
