March 8th was International Women’s Day. At SGN we celebrated by giving our lovely women shoppers a flower. The appreciation was positively received and it also helped cashiers to break the ice when talking about WPF. We tied International Women’s Day into supporting women across the globe through microcredit loans.
The Whole Foods Market Fourth South store, in downtown Salt Lake City, really wanted to make an impact for the Annual Prosperity Campaign this year. They built a display at the front of the store and it is the first thing people see when they come into the store. Their hope is that it affects the shoppers throughout the duration of their shopping experience. In addition, they have the Whole Planet Foundation video playing on loop in the display. Amber Bellows, Associate Grocery Team Leader, expressed, “The video has really helped to inform and educate people about the program.” Thanks for doing such an awesome job FTS; we truly appreciate everything you are doing for the Prosperity Campaign!

We're loving Whole Planet at Ideal! For every microloan that we raise (Average of $186) we are hanging a burlap flag in the store - we're at 20 so far and they are taking over the store! We are also measuring donations behind the register with a Donate-O-Meter that uses coffee beans to show how much we have raised - $3800 and counting!

The weekend before Valentine's Day we had an event called Share the Love. We made packages of 3 heart shaped cookies and sold them for $3. All proceeds went to the Whole Planet Foundation! It was a very fun and successful event.
