Whole Foods donates $10,000 to PRC

Whole Foods, 151 Rice Lake Square, Wheaton, presented a check for $10,348.92 to the People’s Resource Center on Valentine’s Day.

The store raised funds through two programs: Bag Hunger program and One Dime at a Time. Every time a customer brought his or her own reusable bags, Whole Foods Market gave a refund of 10 cents per bag. The customer could then donate that dime to a designated local charity. In addition, Whole Foods’ personnel asked for cash donations as well as non-perishable food for the PRC food pantry.

To thank the store, staff members from PRC gave out valentines Feb. 14, to Whole Foods customers.
