Grocery shopping with your American Express card this season? Whole Foods will donate $0.10 for each purchase.
Posted by Lewis Moon on Monday, December 20, 2010
Share Our Strength has a wonderfully diverse collection of corporate partners who support both the platforms of Share Our Strength and the No Kid Hungry Campaign. One of our oldest partners is American Express. We will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of our partnership with them in 2011. American Express is a long-time supporter of Taste of the Nation as well as many of our other programs, including the Great American Dine Out.
Many of our No Kid Hungry partners have just recently joined us in our fight to eradicate childhood hunger in the United States by 2015. Whole Foods Market is one such partner. The natural food grocer is helping us work toward our goals in numerous ways, including the launch of an in store promotion this holiday season with American Express.
For every purchase made with an American Express card at any Whole Foods Market now through the end of the month, $0.10 will be donated to Share Our Strength, a minimum $250,000 with a maximum of $500,000. It is an honor that these two prestigious companies are collaborating on our behalf. With the support of such corporate partners, we see the end of childhood hunger in the United States not as a possibility, but as a certainty.
The success of this program hinges on activation at the consumer level in the more than 270 Whole Foods Markets in the United States. So far, we have seen great results thanks to Whole Foods employees like Jaimee Rondeau, who is the Marketing Team Manager at their Wayland, Massachusetts, store. In a recent blog post, Jaimee describes perfectly the importance of her work with Share Our Strength as well as what the results of the American Express/Whole Foods collaboration will mean to the community of Wayland and hundreds of thousands of children across the country who struggle with hunger.
Happy Holidays,
Lewis
