In honor of Pride Month, Stop & Shop is donating $82,000 to nonprofit organizations that support the LGBTQ community across Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, as well as New York and New Jersey.
In Boston, that includes the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition. In Providence, their support goes to Rhode Island Youth Pride, and in Connecticut to the New Haven Pride Center.
Plus, in partnership with Proctor & Gamble, the Quincy, Mass.–based grocery story chain is also donating to GLAAD in support of LGBTQ youth anti-bullying efforts as well as The Trevor Project, CenterLink, Sage, OutRight and the National Black Justice Coalition.
“Diverse teams, ideas and experiences are valued at Stop & Shop – and are an integral part of our success,” shared Gordon Reid, president of Stop & Shop, in a recent press release. “We’re proud to make these donations alongside our partners and to support the LGBTQ+ community and its allies.”
What’s more, according to the press release:
Customers shopping in store and on the Stop & Shop mobile app for Pickup and Home Delivery will notice Stop & Shop’s commitment to supporting the LGBTQ+ community, where products from NGLCC-certified, LGBT-owned suppliers such as Peanut Butter & Co., Love Good Fats and Pride Basics are displayed year-round.
Throughout Pride Month, Stop & Shop customers will find these and other LGBT-owned products called out in the weekly circular, allowing them to easily identify, shop and support. Stop & Shop will also celebrate Pride by offering a variety of Pride-themed cakes, cupcakes, floral bouquets, and balloons – plus a limited-edition “Together With Pride” cereal from Kellogg’s with a new berry-flavored recipe and rainbow hearts dusted with edible glitter, while supplies last.
