What:  Whole Planet Foundation Block Party “Flavors of the World”

Over 400 people came out to Whole Foods Market Wellington for our Flavors of the World Block Party, a free tasting around the store!  Each department had an international dish representing a country that benefits from the Whole Planet Foundation, an organization that empowers women through microcredit.  Participants had an opportunity to vote on their favorite dish, a chance to win free products from our prize wheel, and enjoyed live African music.   

Who:  Whole Planet Foundation is a private, nonprofit organization established by Whole

Foods Market, that provides grants to microfinance institutions in Latin America,

Africa and Asia who in turn develop and offer microenterprise loan programs,

training and other financial services to the self-employed poor.
