Tomorrow’s Whole Foods sales benefit BARCS
On Wednesday the Whole Foods at Harbor East will be donating 5 percent of their sales for the day to the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS).
Volunteers from BARCS will be outside the store all day, with dogs available for adoption, dog bite prevention information and tips, and information on disaster planning for families with pets.
Whole Foods Harbor East is located at 1001 Fleet Street. The store is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays.
BARCS is the largest animal shelter in the Baltimore area and cares for 11,000 animals each year. It became a non-profit organization in 2005. BARCS’ mission is to prevent cruelty to animals by rescuing animals, finding homes for the neglected and abandoned animals, and promoting the health and welfare of animals through education, advocacy and pet population control.
