Whole Foods Markets Manhasset is supporting the Manhasset PTA for special education (SEPTA) on Wednesday, Aug. 27 for the Give Back 5 percent shopping day. Five percent of all spending that day will be donated to Manhasset SEPTA as part of the store’s commitment to educators in the community. Both Whole Foods Manhasset and Manhasset SEPTA hope residents will come out to shop and support the event.
“As the T in our PTA, the teachers are a vital part of our children’s lives and learning process,” Manhasset SEPTA Co President Diane Treacy states. “We are delighted to partner with Whole Foods to raise funds to benefit the students and school staff over the 2014-15 school year with programs and resources SEPTA has planned.”
Whole Foods Markets Manhasset, located at Northern Blvd and Port Washington Blvd, is committed to giving back to local communities with four 5% Give Back days over each calendar year. In the past, Whole Foods Manhasset has donated healthy snacks for Manhasset school district teachers during staff training days.
Manhasset SEPTA is a local chapter of the National PTA supporting Manhasset’s special education population, including teachers, school staff, children and their families. Through expert presentation, workshops, community programs and local resources, SEPTA provides support for over 600 Manhasset families and more than 700 school staff members. Manhasset SEPTA proudly services the needs of students with disabilities, gifted and talented students, and students receiving academic intervention services.
