These Awesome Food Brands Are Giving Back This Pride Month
This Pride Month, we can all do more than just being allies by also supporting brands that give back.
Some of our favorite restaurants and food companies are donating to the best charities and organizations supporting the LGBTQ+ community, so we can eat our fave meals, snacks and more for a worthy cause. Curious about what to buy this month? We've got the scoop for you below!
Misaky Tokyo
We've never had a treat quite like Misaky Tokyo's candy gems, which come in delectable fruit and floral flavors and have a yummy gummy center, with a lightly crunchy coating. You can try some of their classic flavors, plus exclusive blood orange passionfruit Orange Sapphire and purple sweet potato orange cinnamon Purple Jasper gems, in their new 2022 Pride box, only available now! In addition to featuring a full rainbow of flavors celebrating every kind of love, 5% of sales this month will be donated to the Los Angeles LGBT Center. They'll also be at the San Francisco Pride Parade from June 25 to 26 to show their love for the LGBTQ+ community.

Bobo's
We love Bobo's and their delicious and satisfying oat bars, but we also love that they're so involved in their communities. This month, they're selling limited-edition Dark Chocolate Almond + Sea Salt Oat Bars in cute rainbow packaging, and 100% of sales will go to their national partner PFLAG National, which provides support for LGBTQ+ people, as well as their families and friends, and to Colorado-based LGBTQ+ support organization The Center on Colfax.

This month 100% of their online cookie proceeds are going to support their favorite non-profits, including the It Gets Better Project, Casa 1, Arquivo Lésbico Brasileiro, The Ali Forney Center and Skate Like a Girl.

Chipotle
This month, Chipotle have also been doing their part in support of Pride.For the first half of the month, they allowed customers to round up their order to the nearest dollar total to support LGBTQ+ suicide prevention organization The Trevor Project, and they've also partnered with Miley Cyrus's The Happy Hippie Foundation to fight injustices against queer and homeless youths and other vulnerable populations, proving $250k in free Chipotle to partner centers across the country. Buying Chipotle merch also supports The Trevor Project throughout the month, with a $10 donation from each item sold.

Oreo
This year, Oreo partnered with PFLAG to create a Pride Pack of Oreos, which are covered in affirming messages from allies to remind people of all identities that they are valid. In addition to donating half a million dollars to PFLAG, Oreo also reminds us all to stay informed, always use people's correct pronouns and be an open, willing ally to marginalized communities.
