Whole Treasures

January 28, 2010

There are a lot of businesses doing a lot of good work in our community. And there are a lot of non-profits needing that help to keep up the good work. That’s why for-profit businesses who give back to our community play such a vital role in making this a wonderful place in which to live.

One business making a difference is Whole Foods. They may not be a local business, but they definitely bloom where they’re planted. They buy from local farmers – and their local produce section is a wonderful place to stock up when we miss our chance to order from CAFM.

Their in-house bakery makes breads and other bakery items onsite, so you are never wondering where it came from, or how long it traveled. And the ingredients are always fresh, too.

We’ve also been impressed with their floral selection – and especially their orchids. Always fresh – and at fair prices.

But they do more than just buy locally. They have a program called “Nickels for Nonprofits.” And now through April 19, for each bag you bring in and use (instead of using one of their new bags) they will give 5 cents to Camp Aldersgate. That adds up fast. So not only will you help the environment by using recycled bags, you will go home knowing you also helped Camp Aldersgate continue to provide a quality camp experience for kids with disabilities.

So go shop. Bring your own bags. And help give back to our community. It really does make a difference.

Ham it Up

November 18, 2009

Thanksgiving is now exactly a week away! Do you have your meal planned? We do! And we hope you do, too! But have you thought about Christmas dinner? Or the parties for which you might have to break down and find a caterer?

Believe it or not, December is lurking right around the corner. And the grocery stores are teeming with holiday foods and meats – but the lines are already atrocious! And parking? Don’t even go there.

So when we learned about a wonderful fundraiser that Camp Aldersgate is doing with Petit Jean Meats – we were pretty excited. They have hams and gift boxes you can order – at a fraction of the cost you’d pay at the grocery store!

Enjoy one of Petit Jean’s famous smoked hams – 14 – 16 pounds of ham – for only $45. (Seriously, is there a better deal for such great meat??) Or enjoy three different gift boxes that include bacon, sausage, ham and more. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it.

Are you out of gift ideas already? Well, any of these products can be drop shipped to the recipient of your choice. Are you going away for the holidays? Are you staying with relatives? Then send them a Breakfast Box. There’s a coffee cake, ham slices, peppered bacon, thick-sliced bacon and sausage. Won’t they be thrilled that you thought about bringing breakfast? And to send it directly is only $46.

Or what about your friends and family you won’t see this year? A gift box of Arkansas meats is an awesome gift. And with all of them under $50 shipped – you can afford to be generous without going into debt on shipping.

Plus, with each purchase of Petit Jean Meats, Camp Aldersgate receives a portion of the sale. So not only are you getting quality meats and fantastic prices, you are also helping raise money to give kids with disabilities the chance to have a summer they’ll never forget.

This really is a gift that keeps on giving.
