Whole Foods Market - 5% Day for Freshplace
Today, Wednesday, September 21st - Whole Foods Market - West Hartford will hold a community giving day, known as a 5% Day where five percent of that day’s net sales are donated to a local nonprofit. Today - Whole Foods Market - West Hartford will be donating 5% of their sales to Freshplace, a local fresh food pantry in Hartford, CT! Shoppers visiting the store at 50 Raymond Road will be able to learn more about Freshplace and contribute to the nonprofit project simply by buying groceries.Freshplace is not a typical food pantry. It offers those in need fresh foods including fruits, vegetables, dairy and meat that many pantries are not able to offer because of lack of refrigeration. It allows patrons the dignity of choosing their own foods (rather than being given a pre-packaged selection) to meet individual health, cultural and family needs.Come down to Whole Foods Market - West Hartford today to do your grocery shopping all while helping a great cause!
