5% Day at Whole Foods Tomorrow!

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL WATERSHED GROUPS! 

Come out on Tuesday, June 29th for Whole Foods Mt. Washington 5% Community Day. The store will donate 5% of ALL gross sales that day to the Baltimore area watershed organizations! The proceeds will help the organizations’ collective missions to achieve clean water in Baltimore’s rivers, streams, and harbor, so that citizens of the Baltimore region will enjoy a healthy natural environment, livable neighborhoods, and a healthy Chesapeake Bay.

Stay tuned for exciting news about the legal merge of the five organizations: Baltimore Harbor Watershed Association, Gwynns Falls Watershed Association, Herring Run Watershed Association, Jones Falls Watershed Association, and the Baltimore Harbor WATERKEEPER.

Help make a difference in our local environment and shop at Whole Foods Mt Washington on Tuesday, June 29th anytime between 8:00am and 9:00pm!

Thanks for your support!

P.S. Stock up for those July 4th BBQs or buy giftcards for groceries in the next few months or as gifts…IT ALL COUNTS!

Help kick-start the Hamilton Crop Circle!

Uniting a community in Northeast Baltimore through gardening.  Hamilton Crop Circle is seeking seed money to help our various projects grow!

  • Local Composting Program:

Hamilton Crop Circle works with area restaurants to collect compostable materials at no charge, reducing waste, while creating natural fertilizer.

  • Roof Top Gardening:

HCC is developing a system of rooftop gardening projects in the industrial and mercantile sectors throughout Baltimore City to produce locally grown food.

  • Feeding the hungry :

Recognizing the need to provide fresh food to Baltimore’s needy HCC has forged a partnership between Our Daily Bread and the Baltimore Farmers Market to donate fresh foods weekly.

  • Educational Growth:

By developing micro farms at area schools, HCC is educating young people about where food comes from, and how to grow it. The gardens are ideally watered by the school’s rooftop cistern. The vegetables find their way to the cafeteria and the science room.

If you get a chance,  please visit hamiltoncropcircle.blogspot.com and take a look at what we are doing in Baltimore!
