One Dime at a Time!

Did you know that every time you bring in your own reusable bags, Whole Foods Market will refund you 10¢ per bag used? Even better, you can choose to donate that dime to an area charity.   

From January to March, we will be donating our reusable bags donations to Family Shelter Service, located right in Wheaton.  They provide many services for victims of domestic violence. They provide individual and group counseling, court advocacy and services, shelter, hotline, teen services, children's services, and Latina services.  Please visit http://www.familyshelterservice.org/ for more information and ways you can help!
