Shoppers at Whole Foods Market in Oakville, and across Ontario, can purchase a Bag Hunger grocery tag to donate to the stores designated local pantry or shelter. Whole Foods Market considers commu- nity involvement a high priority, said Whole Foods Market community relations specialist France Fournier. Programs like this are especially needed during the holi- days. The Bag Hunger program continues through Friday, Dec. 31. Shoppers can purchase a gift tag valued at $5, $10 or $20, which represents a food donation at wholesale cost. Whole Foods Market Oakville will work closely with Fareshare to purchase the items that are most needed. Monetary donations are vital to our existence, said Dudley Clarke of the food bank. We need it to buy non-donated per- ishable food such as ground beef, chicken and fish. A large portion of the money pays for vouchers provided to families with children to obtain items such as milk, eggs, fresh fruit and vegetables. This program is just one of the ways Whole Foods Market gives back to local communities, as it has consistent giving programs year round. Visit www.wholefoodsmarket.com for more details.
