BRAVE HEART - CHILDREN IN NEED TOY DRIVE!

The Whole Foods Market Baton Rouge Team Members encourage you to participate in the Brave Heart - Children in Need Toy Drive through November 21st! A collection container is at the front of the store and the toys will be distributed to children in need for the holidays.

Founded in 2004 and serving 37 parishes, Brave Heart is focused on improving the quality of life for children who are experiencing the emotional trauma of being removed from their homes due to abuse and/or neglect. They have several programs in place that offer hope, encouragement, and comfort to children and give them tools to build self-confidence and teach accountability of ownership. More information is available at www.braveheartchildren.org.
