Whole Foods Market® Venice and Re-source™ spring water have launched “Venice for Venice,” a two week fundraiser in support of oil spill victims who live in Venice, Louisiana, near the mouth of the Mississippi River. Demonstrating Whole Foods Market’s commitment to the community at large, this fundraiser will begin on August 14th with the goal of raising $350,000 and sustaining awareness for the gulf coast region as it recovers from the oil spill.
A kick-off event at Whole Foods Market Venice from 3-5 pm on August 14th will feature a performance from Luminaries, a local raw/vegan hip-hop band, who is releasing their new single “Show the World” as part of the Music in a Bottle Campaign with EcoUsable. Sales from raffle tickets as well as select food and drinks from the day will be donated to the “Venice for Venice” fund. Throughout the two week period, recyclables will be collected and donated to the fund. Additionally, all proceeds from “Venice for Venice” hats and t-shirts and sales of Re-source spring water will be donated to the fund.
