5% Community Day to Benefit Delaware Riverkeeper Network

The Delaware Riverkeeper Network has been chosen to be the  recipient of one of Whole Foods Market’s Community 5% Days, one of the meaningful ways Whole Foods gives back to the local community.  Whole Foods Market Wynnewood will donate 5% of the day’s net sales for Thursday, May 26th, to Delaware Riverkeeper Network.  The funds generated from this event will be used to support the Delaware Riverkeeper Network’s efforts to protect and restore the Delaware River, its tributaries and habitats.  Delaware Riverkeeper Network staff will be at Whole Foods Market Wynnewood from 10am until 8pm on May 26th to share information about urgent issues affecting the Delaware River watershed and how people can become involved in protecting local streams.

The Delaware Riverkeeper Network is encouraging members and all who care about drinking clean water, eating healthy fish, enjoying natural streams, to take part in this special event and help contribute to the preservation and protection of Delaware River. 

“So make Thursday, May 26th, the day to do your grocery shopping at Whole Foods Wynnewood and 5% of your total purchases (before taxes) will automatically be donated to support our work for the River,” says Delaware Riverkeepr Maya van Rossum.

About the Delaware Riverkeeper Network
     The Delaware Riverkeeper Network, a 501(c)(3) non-profit environmental organization, has been working since 1988 to protect and restore the Delaware River and all its tributaries.  The Delaware Riverkeeper Network helps citizens address threats in their own communities; restore damaged streams, wetlands and ecosystems; collect water quality data needed to secure sound decision-making; and when necessary enforce the environmental protection laws that keep us all safe.  As the only advocacy organization working throughout the watershed, DRN is powerfully positioned to identify and address challenges that threaten our River and communities.
