Shop at Whole Foods Tomorrow and Support NYBG’s Edible Academy!

Posted in Programs and Events on June 24 2014, by Lansing Moore

NYBG Whole Foods Market 5% DayTomorrow is your chance to support educational nutrition programs for children when you buy nutritious food for yourself! Our friends at Whole Foods Market® will donate 5% of their daily net sales on June 25 to the programs and activities of NYBG’s Edible Academy and the award-winning Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden.

NYBG has always worked to reconnect children with nature, with a special focus on where their food comes from. At the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden, kids engage in hands-on gardening activities that teach them the benefits of naturally grown vegetables, fruits and herbs. The Edible Academy includes plans for a new, state-of-the-art building that will serve as the hub for edible education at NYBG.

Tomorrow you can help us get closer to that reality when you shop at any one of dozens of Whole Foods Markets across New York and New Jersey. Click through for the full list of participating locations and find the closest one to you!
