Save your big grocery shopping trip for Tuesday, June 30!
Whole Foods in Asheville will donate 5% of one day's sales to a local community
organization as part of its 5 Percent Day. With many tubers and other River
lovers among Whole Foods staff, RiverLink has been selected and will receive
five percent of profits from Tuesday, June 30 from 8 a.m. - 10 p.m.
The money
donated will help continue the economic and environmental revitalization of the
French Broad River and its tributaries as a place to work, live and play. They
focus on issues that directly impact the environmental health of our region's
rivers and streams and the growth and sustainability of our economy.
"We are eager to help members
of our community connect with RiverLink," Tony Sgro, Whole Foods Market®
Asheville Store Team Leader said. "Like the nonprofit, it is important to
us to practice, advance and create avenues for environmental stewardship."
RiverLink
staff and volunteers will be on site at the Whole Foods on South Tunnel Road to
answer questions and provide about water quality, recreation and conservation.
They will also be glad to bag your groceries and help you to your car.
