Hope Gala Rhode Island – LGBTQ+
Join us at the stunning Blithewold Manor, Gardens & Arboretum for a night of celebration, love, and support! This unforgettable evening is dedicated to fostering solidarity, spreading acceptance, and sharing joy within our community.
To Benefit the Haus of Codec: An emergency housing provider for 2SLGBTQ+ youth ages 18-24 who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. We provide rapid rehousing, access to case management, clothing pantry, food pantry, access to free mental health care and a transportation stipend for each client. HOC defines transition-aged youth as individuals between 18-24. In addition, we work with youth exposed to the juvenile justice system, aging out of foster care, or cannot return home because of their homes for their sexuality or gender. This demographic sees a more significant risk of violence and abuse in larger, less amenable shelter spaces our state has historically provided. Since our inception HOC has completed intake for nearly 100 youth ages 18 – 24.

The story behind The Hope Gala RI: The Hope Gala RI was founded by Allan Millora from Allan Millora Photography in 2024. In addition to Allan’s role as professional photographer, he also has an extensive background in Event Management as he has been Blithewold Manor’s Private Events Manager for years now. Allan would like to give back to the community by providing an event that will help the LGBTQIA+ Community. Therefore The Hope Gala RI was born. I hope that you will be able to support an event for a great cause.
