Kimberton Whole Foods Matches Funds for Tsunami Victims
Local Chester County, PA store matches donor funds for disaster victims. Connection: Many vendors from affected countries.
(PRWEB) January 1, 2005
Kimberton Whole Foods stores (in Kimberton and Downingtown, PA) are coming to the aid of Tsunami victims by announcing a matching donor program. For every dollar that customers donate (at the register), Kimberton Whole Foods will match (up to $1,000).
Kimberton Whole Foods plans to give all monies collected to Doctors Without Borders Global Medical Relief Mission. This non-government relief organization will offer medical assistance to the victims of this disaster. They provide primary health care, perform surgery, rehabilitate hospitals and clinics, run nutrition and sanitation programs, train local medical personnel, and provide mental health care.
Kimberton’s Marketing Director, Julia Greenblatt, explains Kimberton’s connection to the disaster in this way,“ Some of our vendors are located in the countries affected by this horrendous tragedy. They provide our company with natural woolen outerwear and natural food products. Now it’s our chance to support them.”
Kimberton Whole Foods provides local communities with a wide selection of natural, organic and gourmet products. Started in 1994 by owner, Terry Brett, the store not only cares for the earth and community, but individuals as well, by offering employment to people with special needs. Their goal is to be big enough to adequately serve the community, yet small enough to be committed to personal relations with local producers and customers. Old-fashioned customer service is their goal. For more information on Kimberton Whole Foods, visit their website at www. kimbertonwholefoods. com or call 610-935-1444.
