Cindy O’Shea, Marketing Supervisor at the new Whole Foods Market in Newport Beach, visited the Environmental Nature Center today to present a check for $3832 to the ENC Staff! The funds are a result of Whole Foods’ Community Giving Day on October 17th. They donated 5% of that day’s net sales to help us provide environmental education programs for adults and children.
Since opening a store in Tustin in 2007, Whole Foods Market has single-handedly donated an astounding $50,000 to Orange County-based community groups! Whole Foods has also gone on record to say they, “… enthusiastically support the valuable work the ENC is doing to promote the importance of nature and science in the Orange County community.”
We feel proud to have such a community-oriented and environmentally conscious company supporting us! And since so many of the products sold at Whole Foods are local, organic, fair trade, etc. – we hope you will consider doing your grocery shopping at the Whole Foods in Newport Beach – you’ll be supporting one of our generous sponsors, feeding your family healthier food, and helping the environment.
