Coralville Chick-fil-A to donate food to Iowa City Pride picnic

The Iowa City Pride Fest has a new sponsor. That being the Coralville Chick-fil-A.

Adam Donius, owner of one of the restaurants in Coralville, will be donating free food to one of the Pride Fest event later this month. Donius has agreed to donate 200 sandwiches and sides for Iowa City Pride’s annual picnic on June 19.

Iowa City Pride officials said they approached Donius after some community members took issue with his restaurant sponsoring Iowa City’s Soul Fest last year.

“We offered him different ways that he could contribute and be part of our pride, help us build community,” said Jewell Amos, Iowa City Pride Chair. “He said that he totally believes in building community. So he was like, sure.”


Let me offer mu own personal

I hope Mr. Donius doesn't get any static from the company for doing this.
