READING, Pa. – Due to changes in funding — including the loss of federal funding — the LGBT Center of Greater Reading in Centre Park says it is changing its hours.
Starting this month, the center will be open Monday through Friday from noon to 8 p.m.
It will be closed on weekends, unless programming is scheduled.
Officials say the changes will let them conserve resources and realign programs.
“This is a moment of transition, but also a moment of possibility,” Executive Director Laura Biancone said in a statement on Monday. “We are committed to reimagining services, strengthening partnerships, and ensure LGBTQ+ people continue to have a place where they feel supported, affirmed, and connected.”
