Markets back school salad bars
Whole Foods Markets in Hawaii will be "giving some green" to the Whole Kids Foundation for its annual Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools fundraiser, held during the first two weeks of September.
On Sunday, for every pound of food purchased at the salad and hot food bar at the Kahala, Kailua and Kahului stores, a dollar will be donated to the foundation. And through Sept. 14, shoppers can make donations at checkout, or through the website www.wholekidsfoundation.org.
The Let’s Move Salad Bars to Schools initiative aims to provide 6,000 school salad bars across the country by the end of 2013.
Schools can apply for a salad bar grant; visit saladbars2schools.org.
