Whole Foods Supports Great River on Aug 11th! Join the Fun! Volunteer, Shop, Eat & Spread the Word!


GRS Parent Marie Rickmyer has arranged for Great River School to participate in the Whole Foods Community Giving Day. On Tuesday, August 11th, Whole Foods will donate 5% of their profit to Great River. In the past, this day usually earns around $3000.

This is a great way to help support our school and the great programming by doing one of three things:
  1. Volunteer for the day. We need volunteers from 10:30-1 and 3:30-6. You can bring your children. There will be activities at the table as well as talk about our gardens and beehives with those that are interested. No selling involved!
  2. Shop at Whole Foods on Tuesday. August 11th: 5% of your grocery bill will go to Great River. Make it your shopping day. Or bring your family in for lunch and pick up dinner on your way home.
  3. Tell your friends and family about it--post this link:  https://www.facebook.com/events/942775169097086/on your Facebook page and other social media outlets such as Instagram--have your children do the same to help influence their peers and parents of their peers. I used the link from Whole Foods' page and created an event and sent to my entire FB family.
We appreciate your support at Great River and look forward to seeing you at Whole Foods on Tuesday.
