Whole Foods Lends Its Support to YWOM

On September 17th, 2009, Whole Foods Market supported YWOM through their 5% Community Giving Day.

We wish to thank Whole Foods for selecting YWOM as the third quarter recipient of 5% of the day's proceeds. This giving spirit was evidenced by the encouragement and support from Whole Foods staff and customers. How encouraging it was to see so many shoppers concerned about reducing their carbon footprint on the environment! Paper and plastic are definitely not in at Whole Foods.

Go Green! Whole Foods Market is located at 7401 W 91st St, Overland Park, KS 66212.
