"The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center provides a home for the birth, nurture, and celebration of LGBT organizations, institutions, and culture. They care for individuals and groups in need, educate the public and the LGBT community, and empower individuals and groups to achieve their fullest potential. Established in 1983, the Center has grown to become the largest LGBT multi-service organization on the East Coast and second largest LGBT community center in the world. They provide groundbreaking social service, public policy, educational, and cultural/recreational programs and serve as an incubator for grassroots groups that meet in the Center's facilities," state press notes.

"God's Love We Deliver's mission is to improve the health and well-being of men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS and other serious illnesses by alleviating hunger and malnutrition. GLWD prepares and delivers nutritious, high-quality meals to people who, because of their illness, are unable to provide or prepare meals for themselves.

GLWD provides volunteer opportunities in their kitchen, with delivering meals, and in their offices for all people who wish to assist people living with serious illnesses. Their services are provided free of charge and they act out of a sense of responsibility to help those in need. They act out of a sense of urgency because hunger cannot wait. GLWD is committed to grow and change in response to their clients' changing needs."
