Ngaphandle kwemibukiso evamile enomsindo, izimvula ze-confetti ezikhanyayo, ezimibalabala, nabantu abagqoke uthingo abagcwele imigwaqo yedolobha ukuzobungaza umphakathi we-LGBTQIA+, inyanga ye-Pride ibukeka ihluke ngokuphelele kulo nyaka. Kepha i-COVID-19, kanye nokuhoxiswa kwemicimbi ye-Pride yomuntu siqu, akuvimbi I-KIND Snacks ekuboniseni ukwesekwa kwayo nokwenza lokho ekwenza kahle kakhulu: ukusabalalisa umusa.

Kuwo wonke uJuni, uhlobo luthengisa ibha yalo yesibili yonyaka, ekhawulelwe ye-KIND Pride, ibha ye-Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt enokugoqwa kothingo olukhuthazwe ifulegi le-Pride. Kanye nokwanelisa isisu sakho esikhalayo ngesikhathi sokudla okulula, ibha izosiza ukusekela intsha engenakhaya ye-LGBTQIA+ eNew York City. Yonke imali etholakalayo (efinyelela ku- $ 50,000) evela kubha ye-KIND Pride izonikelwa ku-Ali Forney Center (AFC), inhlangano ezinikele ekuhlinzekeni intsha engenamakhaya ye-LGBTQIA + nabantu abadala ngezindlu nezinsizakalo zokuxhasa, kufaka phakathi ukudla, ukunakekelwa kwezokwelapha, impilo yengqondo services, nokuningi. (I-FYI: Umphakathi we-LGBTQIA+ uvamise ukuthola ukunakekelwa kwezempilo okubi kakhulu kunontanga yabo eqondile.)

Ubambiswano phakathi kwe-KIND ne-AFC luqale ngonyaka we-2017, lapho amalungu eqembu le-KIND ezweni lonke ethathe usuku lokuzithandela, kubandakanya ne-AFC, njengengxenye yoSuku Lwaminyaka yonke lwenkampani. Eminyakeni emithathu kusukela lapho, cishe abasebenzi be-KIND abayi-100 baye bavolontiya nenhlangano. Kepha izinsizakalo ze-AFC zidingeka manje kunanini ngaphambili ngenxa yemiphumela ye-COVID-19, ngokusho komkhulumeli we-KIND.

Ibha ye-KIND Pride, noma kunjalo, iyingxenye yesinyathelo esikhulu sokupha ngomkhiqizo wokudla okulula. Emuva ngoJuni 2019 — ngenkathi ibha yokuziqhenya iqala ukusebenza — inkampani yethule i-KIND Snack & Give Back Project yayo, uhlelo lweminyaka eminingi olusekela izinhlangano ezikhuthaza futhi zinike abanye amandla. Ukuhlonipha uSuku lweVeteran ngo-2019, i-KIND ikhiphe ibha yayo yamaHeroes ezuzisa iThemba lamaWarriors, elihlinzeka ngosizo kumalungu enkonzo abalimele nemindeni yabo. Ngaphambi koSuku Lwabesifazane Lwamazwe Ngamazwe ngoFebhuwari, inkampani yethula ibha yayo yokuLingana ukuze isize i-Alice Paul Institute, inhlangano engenzi nzuzo ezibophezele ekuthuthukiseni ukulingana ngokobulili.
