Community Giving Day at Whole Foods Market raised $4,138 to support Cincinnati Area Senior Services.

The Oct. 17, 2019 event generated funds for our Meals on Wheels program. The store, in The Rookwood Commons shopping plaza in Norwood, donated 5% of its net proceeds that day to CASS.

“Thank you so much to the staff at Whole Foods in Rookwood for being so kind and happily supporting Meals on Wheels and CASS,” said Linda Bertaso, the CASS Development Manager. “We loved hanging with you and being part of the in-store event and appreciate all of you.”

Once every three months, Whole Foods stores partner with community-based nonprofits to hold Community Giving Days. The company chooses nonprofits with missions, such as access to healthy food, that align with Whole Foods’ mission.

In addition to raising funds, the events raise awareness about the nonprofit’s cause. The nonprofit staffs tables in the stores to educate and interact with Whole Foods customers.
