Pride celebrations in Kansas City show no signs of slowing after a successful parade and festival buoyed spirits for the LGBTQ+ community. West Plaza donut shop Donutology is spreading the love with its custom Pride-themed donuts.
Donutology specializes in from-scratch creations that allow customers to express themselves more fully, and the Pride line is chock-full of rainbow toppings, in every imaginable candy form. “The product we sell at Donutology is one that everyone enjoys—a donut represents a sweet comfort food,” says founder and owner Andrew Cameron, whose partnership with SAVE, Inc. will benefit young adults facing homelessness.
Ten dollars from each order of donut letters, mini donuts, or classic donuts will directly benefit Pride Haven through June. Cameron explains, “Donutology celebrates and fosters spaces of belonging, diversity, and inclusion, and supports and respects rights of individuals in the entire LGBTQ+ community.”
Pride Haven supports youth between the ages of 18 and 24, offering help with job and housing assistance, medical referrals, and budget planning. “Data shows that when a young person hits the streets, if you can’t connect with them within 48 hours, the chances of them becoming victims of a crime or violence or falling into the homeless system permanently increases by 80 percent,” said SAVE, Inc. CEO Blaine Proctor.
Donutology’s made-to-order Pride creations require a preorder. Available today through the end of June.
