Comments on: Together, We Donated $2.7 Million for Haitian Relief http://blog.wholefoodsmarket.com/2010/02/haitian-earthquake-relief-drive/ The Official Whole Foods Market Blog Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:14:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Tami http://blog.wholefoodsmarket.com/2010/02/haitian-earthquake-relief-drive/#comment-37679 Tami Sat, 06 Feb 2010 21:48:26 +0000 http://blog.wholefoodsmarket.com/?p=4764#comment-37679 Please Whole Foods, reconsider anything having to do with the Red Cross. Yes its great they want to help BUT... besides somehow mismanaging funds and then lieing about it. {They some how LOST 90 MILLION that was to go to the victims of 911} The Red Cross only gives 30¢ per every dollar they receive, the rest goes in their pockets. Funny that the Obama's didn't give to the Red Cross. They gave to another charity. Doctors Without Borders gives 85¢ per every dollar and the other charitys mention give so much more. Dont take my word for it..check them out for yourselves. Please Whole Foods, reconsider anything having to do with the Red Cross.

I also really appreciate the chance to regularly make donations or this important cause when I shop, and would appreciate the ability to do so beyond 1/31 if circumstances merit.

I am hoping the Whole Foods Store here in Boulder on Pearl Street has a relief effort that will take in donated clothes, as that is how I plan to assist those in need. Thank you, Whole Foods!!

I am familiar by name with many of your wonderful employees from Haiti. They are always helpful, go out of their way to help me and smile! Not something you see in many stores today. These people are one of the reason I choose to shop at Whole Foods. Partrick, who, helps keep the cars moving at the Geenwich, CT location, is out there, in the parking lot, with a big smile, always polite and charming, in all weathers. I will be making a special trip to doing my grocery shopping at Whole Foods tomorrow. Not only because I love the store and the products but i LOVE the people who work there, Haitian or not. Your employees are a great credit to you. I am very happy to see how proactive you are being to help the devastation caused by the earthquake in Haiti.

Don't think for a second that the employees and executives aren't digging deep into their own pockets. Whole Foods provides neverending efforts to support and enrich the communities and the world in which it's stores exist, they do good, they really aren't a huge wholesale profit machine, sure, they make profits, but their choices and business plan are making a huge impact on the way we are sustaining ourselves in this world for the better.
