PRIDE is colorful. PRIDE is fun. PRIDE is a celebration—but it’s more than just rainbows. While the items below focus on the literal sunshine and rainbows of PRIDE, we acknowledge that this month is about something far more important than promotional stuff. These products give back because there are still people who do not feel safe being who they are, and that’s not okay. So here’s to celebrating PRIDE—not just until LGBTQ+ individuals are universally accepted, but for years and years to come.
Pressed
1 Pressed
Three of Pressed’s fresh juices are getting a makeover for PRIDE month. The popular juice chain has partnered with two LGBTQ+ artists, Ashley Lukashevsky and Loveis Wise, to redesign the bottle labels to bring attention to the campaign and support a chosen nonprofit. A portion of all sales from these three juices will be donated to LYRIC (Lavender Youth Recreation and Information Center) chapters across the country. Stock up on your Citrus 2, Greens 3, and Strawberry Orange Mango Smoothies from Pressed throughout the month of June so your purchase goes further.

Karma Baker
6 Karma Baker cake and cookie sandwiches
This bakery is transforming cookies into donations. All proceeds from Karma Baker’s fudge-filled chocolate chip sandwich cookies and vanilla rainbow cake will be donated to The Trevor Project for the month of June. That’s right—not five percent, not 10 percent, but 100 percent. If you’re thinking of donating to an LGBTQ+ organization this month, might as well support small vegan business and get something sweet all in one powerful transaction. Those unable to get their orders in by June can still make their purchases go further by ordering the rainbow cake any time of the year (it ships nationwide). Karma Baker donates 100 percent of the proceeds of this cake flavor to The Trevor Project year-round. That in itself is something to celebrate.
