If you shop at Whole Foods today, Thursday July 26, five percent of net sales from the Franklin and Green Hills stores will go to Slow Food Middle Tennessee (SFMTN) as part of Whole Food’s quarterly Community Giving Day.
Slow Food Middle Tennessee strives to facilitate accessible educational programs; provide awareness of and equal access to good, clean and fair foods; and advocate for a healthy, delicious, sustainable and diverse food system for the community of Middle Tennessee. As a part of this mission, SFMTN has implemented a program for Community Enrichment Grants, which awards funds to local food-related entities, community and learning gardens, and business entrepreneurs whose work embodies that same mission. The funds collected from Whole Food Market’s Community Giving Day will be directed to this grant program.
More than 465 Whole Foods Market locations will participate in the Community Giving Day by donating to organizations, projects and programs that support the mission of ensuring access to healthy food for all.
About Slow Food Middle Tennessee
Slow Food Middle Tennessee is a local chapter of Slow Food USA. An international grassroots movement, Slow Food seeks to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions, counteract the rise of fast life and combat people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, and how our food choices affect the world around us. For more information, please visit www.slowfoodmidtn.com.
Locally, Whole Foods is located at 1566 W McEwen Dr, Franklin TN 37067.
