Rainbow Resource Centre – Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Justin, a store manager and 2SLGBTQ+ community member, is passionate about vital support service charities like Rainbow Resource Centre, which provides counseling, educational services and programming for people of all ages. Rainbow Resource Centre began as a University of Manitoba student group in the 1970s and is considered one of the longest continuously running 2SLGBTQ+ resource centres in North America. 

Having previously fundraised for Rainbow Resource Centre, Justin seized the opportunity to connect his personal interest in this organization to his Starbucks role through Neighborhood Grants. “Rainbow Resource Centre is integral to many within the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Manitoba and needs ongoing support to continue offering essential services.”
