Join us during the month
of September at Earth Fare's
new store in SouthPark area

Community events to aid Friendship Trays, help us reach volunteers

 

An array of events at the new SouthPark Earth Fare store during September will raise money to support Friendship Trays. And Friendship Trays volunteers will be at the store at various times throughout September to tell customers about the meals-on-wheels program serving Charlotte-Mecklenburg.

The full list of events and activities is posted below. Earth Fare will be donating some or all of the proceeds from certain sales during these events to Friendship Trays.

So now's the time to visit a new retailer in town and effortlessly help support your favorite nonprofit.

Every month of the year, Friendship Trays serves nutritious meals to your neighbors who are no longer able to cook for themselves. These are the people who, probably like you, desperately want to live independently as long as they can. With your help, Friendship Trays makes that wish a reality.

To learn more about Friendship Trays and how you can support it, look around this Web site. Call us at 704-333-9229. Come see us at 2401-A Distribution St. in South End near downtown. And during September, have a look-see at EarthFare in SouthPark.
