Happy for Happy Hill Farm Academy

Leave it to Whole Foods Market to give back to the community in a big way! This past Wednesday, September 16th, the Arlington Whole Foods Market had a 5% Community Giving Day, which in a nutshell means they donated 5% of their net sales to a charity of choice . . . the lucky recipient was Happy Hill Farm Academy. For me, it was business as usual-shop, shop, shop! Seriously, that’s all anyone has to do when they happen to be in a Whole Foods Market during a 5% Day. Talk about generosity at its best. There was even a counselor from Happy Hill Farm Academy set up in the store so I could ask questions about the organization or get in on the raffles to win an autographed Cowboys football and tickets to a Monday night game! Oh, I forgot to mention that Happy Hill has several houses at the academy, one of which is the Dallas Cowboys Courage House (hence the raffles). Yeah, it was pretty cool. I checked out Whole Foods website a couple of days later and saw that they’d raised over $2600 for the academy (and it even rained that day!!!) I don’t know about you, but I’m gonna keep my eyes peeled for these 5% Days because I know of NO other retailer where I can help a non-profit by simply grocery shopping.
