Whole Foods Market Sebastopol donates to Voice of the Future ···

Voice of the Future Coordinator Kellie Noe receives a check from Whole Foods on behalf of local youth.

On July 28, 2004, Whole Foods Market presented $1,190 to Voice of the Future, its Envirocents group for the spring quarter. Every time market patrons bring their own bags or donate at the check out stand, their contributions accumulate in a fund that Whole Foods market Sebastopol gives to the selected community organization.

"It's an honor for Whole Foods Market Sebastopol to support Voice of the Future," said Eddie Sonnenblick, Marketing and Community Outreach Coordinator. "Helping young people speak out on issues impacting their future is a gift to our local community as well as the whole planet."

"I am very pleased to accept this donation on behalf of our local youth," said Voice of the Future Coordinator Kellie Noe, "We are fortunate to live in a community where local businesses support educational efforts like ours. This contribution will help us succeed in our mission." added Noe.
