Back-To-School Event At Whole Foods Aug. 16

Whole Foods Market in Wellington — in partnership with the Village of Wellington, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue — will be kicking off the school year Saturday, Aug. 16 with a celebration of lunchbox favorite foods, free ID cards for children and a performance by Patty Shukla, an award-winning children’s musician. The performance will begin at 11 a.m. in the café. Call (561) 904-4000 to pre-register.

Emergency vehicles will be in the Whole Foods Market parking lot for families to explore, while free lunchbox samples will be offered around the store. The free ID card will be created in the back of the café (first come, first served) by PBSO volunteers.

Reusable Whole Foods Market cooler lunch bags and grilled cheese sandwiches will be offered in exchange for donations to Elbridge Gale Elementary School to purchase school supplies for children in need.

Families are encouraged to walk around the store tasting all sorts of lunchbox delights.
