Thanksgiving Shopping Day is November 24th at Whole Foods Market

5% Day is a Marvelous Opportunity for IHS When a charity is selected as a participant for 5% Day, it is truly a time for celebration. Whole Food's generous opportunity means that our charity will receive 5% net from the participating store's take for that day. In this case it's  Wednesday, November 14, 2012,  8 AM - 10 PM.   How can You Help? The answer is simple:  SHOP FOR THANKSGIVING ON NOVEMBER 14TH!  The store, which opened at its new location this year, is located at 1797 Hydraulic Road in Charlottesville. In case you are not familiar, Whole Foods has one of the most inviting buffets. Customers shop, then settle down to eat and enjoy their shopping experience with a variety of organically nourishing meals.  Once you've sampled the diversity of the daily meals, Whole Foods will enter your list of favorite restaurant stops for brunch, lunch, late lunch and supper. And there will be Music Volunteering on keyboard from 11 AM - 3 PM is Sam McLawhorn.  From 3:45 - 5:45 PM Bob Gross and Hank Schutz, violinists with the Piedmont Chamber Players will perform. From 6-7 PM Erica Cha will play guitar.  With a bit of luck and time to join in, we are hopeful to have more volunteers before and after these talented musicians.   We've been gearing up to assist for the whole day As this message is being released, we have thirty-five (35) volunteers lined up for 2-6 hour shifts of bagging groceries, assisting customers to their cars, and serving as greeters  at the door and the IHS table display.  The new aprons have been imprinted with the IHS emblem, which all volunteers will be wearing while serving customers. Customers will also be given a leaflet as they enter to indicate which items can be used by the IHS full-day meal packet program. A collection cart will be evident for customers who wish to leave food items as they leave. We still have a need for more volunteers Shifts from 8-12 AM, 12-4 PM, 3-6 PM and 6-10 PM could use another 4-6 volunteers. This would allow for someone to serve as a greeter at the door, assist at the IHS display table, and take breaks from bagging during the 2-3 hour periods.
