what we do.

RESOURCES: TSC provides support to the community through resources, referrals, and direct mutual aid. Resources & referrals to LGBTQIA+ friendly and affirming businesses, healthcare providers, recreational programs, and more provide the community with the confidence to seek the support they need, whether it be medical or otherwise, at safe and welcoming vendors. Our mutual aid fund helps individuals directly by providing immediate financial support for housing, utilities, and medication, and our free clothing closet offers a variety of clothing to anyone in need, no questions asked.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT: TSC hosts and produces monthly, quarterly, and annual events open to the public to build and bolster the Queer community in the Pine Belt Area. These events include barbecues, entertainment shows, support groups, social gatherings, special interest groups, and October’s Pine Belt Pride week. We provide food, drinks, entertainment, resources, community connections, art projects, and games, and attendees are encouraged to express themselves, enjoy each other’s company, learn more about TSC, become involved with our work, and cultivate personal connections.

DIRECT ACTION: TSC also leads efforts to organize local, regional, and state level advocacy efforts, including lobbying for legislation in the City of Hattiesburg and in the state legislature. We also assist individual community members advocate for themselves and provide advocacy and resource training to the community at large.
