"Within the LGBTQ community, we can find ourselves often out-aged or overlooked and it's important that we make sure that doesn't happen," said Jo Mama, drag queen and co-founder of the Chicago Black Drag Council. "It's our inherent responsibility to give back to the people who opened the doors for us." Jo Mama reached out to Danny Beers, Generations LGBT coordinator for Our Art of Giving, to get connected to Town Hall after Chicago Black Drag Council member and Minnesota native Jesse Fails came to them with the idea. Beers started a food drive for LGBTQ seniors at the start of the pandemic in 2020. Almost a year later, he has donated thousands of items to seniors including food and household essentials. He added that the group will also provide care packages for the seniors.
