This Pride Month, Fello was proud to join communities across Maryland in celebration of visibility, inclusion, and belonging.  

On June 13, Fello team members attended Catonsville Pride and Delmarva Pride, joining hundreds of community members, advocates, allies, and organizations to honor and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community.  

Across both festivals, people gathered to celebrate identity, build connections, and demonstrate their commitment to creating communities where everyone is welcomed and valued. Fello team members spent the day meeting attendees, sharing information about our work, and connecting with people who share our vision for a more inclusive Maryland. 

The following day, Fello also participated in the Delmarva Pride Center Brunch, bringing together advocates, community leaders, and supporters for meaningful conversations about inclusion, equity, and the work that continues long after Pride Month ends. 

“It’s wonderful to see Pride events in Maryland grow each year. Catonsville and Easton are examples of how these events bring hundreds of people together to celebrate the community,” said Joan Green, Director of Community Engagement. “Fello was glad for the opportunity to introduce our work, make new connections, and above all, stand in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community.” 

For more than 65 years, Fello has worked to create opportunities, remove barriers, and help people build the lives they want. Our commitment to inclusion is rooted in both our mission and our culture. 

Every day, we support people in living the lives they choose, pursuing their goals, and participating fully in their communities. We also strive to create a workplace where employees feel welcomed, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. Those values are at the heart of everything we do—and they’re reflected in our support of events that celebrate belonging, visibility, and self-expression. 

Pride is a celebration, but it’s also a reminder that inclusion requires ongoing action. At Fello, we’re committed to creating communities where people can live authentically, feel welcomed, and experience a true sense of belonging—not just during Pride Month, but every day of the year.
