Inspiration, Courage, Beauty - Benefiting The Wellness Community

 Throughout the month of October, Whole Foods Market (Galleria and Town and Country) will promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month by donating the proceeds of our new, beautiful pink recyclable bags to The Wellness Community of Greater St. Louis. The Wellness Community is dedicated to providing free emotional support, education, and hope for people with cancer and their loved ones. Through participation in professionally led support groups, educational workshops and mind/body programs, people affected by cancer learn vital skills to regain control, reduce feelings of isolation, and restore hope - regardless of the stage of the disease. Help us support The Wellness Community by purchasing bags for $1.99 each. You really can make a difference!
