Dec 14: stock up on staples at Whole Foods to make healthy food accessible to all in DC!

Fellow food lovers, this is your chance to stock up on all of the things you've been meaning to pick up at Whole Foods! Olive oil, maple syrup, wine, bulk nuts for baking cookies, chicken stock for savory soups... all the stuff you'll need in the kitchen to get you through the cold months.Start your list, but hold off until Dec 14th -- that’s when Whole Foods is holding a “5% Day” at their P Street and Georgetown locations to benefit a small collective of farmers’ market programs. Your purchases that day will directly help to support your neighbors and your local farm community!How it works: You shop like any other day, EXCEPT that 5% of all sales at the two Whole Foods locations that day will go toward growing the WIC and SNAP (food stamp) programs at the 14th & U, Mount Pleasant, Bloomingdale, and NoMa farmers’ markets during their 2012 season.Learn more about the project here.
