How eating lots of waffles can help you support Cincinnati Pride this June
Looking to support the LGBTQ+ community this Pride Month? Buy a waffle!
Taste of Belgium, the Cincinnati-based eatery founded by native Belgian Jean-Francois Flechet in 2007, is donating a portion of its waffle sales to Cincinnati Pride during the month of June.
'At Taste of Belgium, we aim to provide an inclusive environment where our people can grow and thrive, and we've always celebrated authenticity and individuality. That's why this partnership with Cincinnati Pride means so much to us,' Flechet said in a press release.
'This is about more than food; it's about community, inclusion and acceptance,' he continued.
'They fully support our mission and share our belief that authenticity, inclusion and community should be at the heart of everything we do," Cincinnati Pride Director of Development Jake Hitch said about Taste of Belgium. "This campaign is a celebration of those shared values."
The restaurant, which has locations in Over-the-Rhine, The Banks, Rookwood and Findlay Market, is also offering special packs of its signature Belgian waffles called Love Packs. The packs will be available for purchase in person and online for $13 per pack, with $2 from each sale going toward Cincinnati Pride, the volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to hosting the Pride festival and parade every year.
Each Love Pack includes traditional, lemon poppyseed, red velvet and birthday cake waffles.
Cincinnati's Pride festival and parade take place downtown Saturday, June 28. However, there are events all throughout the month.

Berkshire has been selling a top healthcare holding it's owned for over a decade. Here's why
Berkshire Hathaway resumed selling shares of DaVita , a provider of kidney dialysis services, after the holding more than quadrupled in price. A new regulatory filing this week revealed that Berkshire sold another 200,010 shares of DaVita through multiple transactions between May 22-27. Berkshire remains DaVita's biggest institutional investor with a 42.3% stake, according to FactSet. The stock, which Berkshire first bought in 2011, is still the conglomerate's 10th biggest holding. This is just the latest sale by Warren Buffett's sprawling, Omaha-based empire has trimmed its stake in DaVita. In late February, Berkshire sold another 750,000 shares for $116 million over several days. Neither the filing for that sale nor the latest one mentioned an agreement reached in April 2023 under which DavIta agreed to buy back shares each quarter to reduce Berkshire's stake to 45%, and neither sale was of that plan. Rising costs Berkshire's latest round of selling came as DaVita suffered from rising patient care and operating costs. The Denver, Colorado-based company recently experienced disruptions from hurricanes as well as a ransomware attack, and the industry is also grappling with more onerous reimbursement and regulatory restrictions. The stock is down about 9% this year after surging 40% in each of the past two years. DaVita has quadrupled since Berkshire first bought the stock in 2011, closing Friday at $136.26 versus $34.74 at the end of 2010. DVA 5Y mountain DaVita over the past five years Berkshire's DVA stake is believed to be the work of portfolio manager Ted Weschler since his hedge fund had invested in the stock before he joined Berkshire in 2011. In 2014 , Weschler told CNBC that he bought the stock because DaVita delivers "better quality of care," high return on capital with predictable growth and a shareholder-friendly management. He also liked that the company's efficiency helped it to "deliver a net savings to the health care system." DaVita, founded in 1994, provides kidney dialysis services through at-home dialysis and a network of outpatient clinics across the United States.
