LAKEWOOD, Colo., June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of Pride Month, Natural Grocers® will be donating $5,000 to the Human Rights Campaign to support the organization's efforts to end discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community and their work towards equality for all.

Celebrated through the month of June, Pride Month is when the world's LGBTQ+ communities (and their allies) come together and celebrate the freedom to be themselves and the impact they've had in the world.

"We're pleased to make this donation to the Human Rights Campaign. Commitment to our Community and commitment to our Crew are two of our Five Founding Principles. At the heart of this commitment is the belief that all people should be empowered to experience health and wellbeing. We cannot be true to this conviction without cultivating inclusion throughout every aspect of our organization. Celebrating inclusivity refreshes, expands, and shapes our perspective, energizing our mission of equitable access to health and wellness for all," states Heather Isely, Executive Vice President of Natural Grocers.
