Strawberry Square
A new space for LGBTQ+ community members will soon open in Harrisburg.
GLO Harrisburg plans to cut the ribbon on its LGBTQ+ resource center’s new location in Strawberry Square on Wednesday, July 24.
GLO, a nonprofit previously located at 1701 N. 3rd St., functions under the umbrella of the LGBT Center of Central PA, specifically servicing LGBTQ+-identifying men and trans women of color.
“GLO looks forward to continuing to grow our connection with the local LGBTQ community as well as the community at large by providing a safe space for resources and social activities here in a location that is easily accessible and centrally located,” said TL Waid, GLO site director.
The new resource center will provide educational, behavioral, mental health and medical services, such as virtual therapy sessions. Additionally, GLO focuses on providing HIV and STI care, including access to testing and preventative medication.
“This center in Strawberry Square, in the heart of our city, is in an ideal location to
reach a wide audience of folks who may need – and can take advantage of – the services that
GLO offers,” said Brad Jones, president and CEO of Harristown Enterprises Inc., which owns Strawberry Square.
A grand opening, ribbon cutting and reception will be held on Wednesday, July 24, at 2 p.m. at GLO’s new space inside the Capitol Bridge entrance on the second floor of Strawberry Square.
