Join us at the Women’s Resource Center for a Queer Women Coffee Hour, a casual and welcoming space for connection and community. This gathering is open to self-identifying queer women and women-aligned individuals who want to meet others, share conversation, and enjoy coffee in a relaxed environment. Stop by, bring a friend, and spend the morning building community. We will have coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Bring your favorite to-go cup and mug, or we have to-go cups!
