One Dime at a Time
- Did you know that every time you bring in your own bag at Whole Foods Market, you receive 10 cents back for doing so (for every bag you use!)? Now however, you also have the option to donate those 10 cents to a local area nonprofit! July through September your dimes will go to the Hancock Center for Dance/Movement Therapy - a non-profit, charitable organization created to promote the informed and effective use of dance/movement therapy in the Midwest. Its mission is to provide dance/movement therapy services to the community, regardless of a client's ability to pay. Because the primary need in our community has been in the area of abuse, their mission has developed a special focus on prevention and therapy for children, families and adults in abusive and violent situations.
