PALM DESERT, Calif. (Aug. 3, 2014) – As part of its “Summer of Giving” campaign, from Aug. 3 through 16, Whole Foods Market’s Palm Desert store is raising funds and awareness for The Living Desert, an AZA-accredited zoo and garden dedicated to desert conservation.
“We are honored to be chosen by Whole Foods for this community-based support, as we share the values of conservation and environmental awareness. And, of course, we welcome them to the community,” said Allen Monroe, president and CEO of The Living Desert.
“Summer of Giving” is an online fundraising campaign to help address key needs in the Palm Desert community. Community members can get involved by visiting the Whole Foods Market Palm Desert store webpage at www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/palmdesert, or by donating through the EStore https://shop.wholefoodsmarket.com/store/default.aspx.
