New Frontiers Natural Marketplace and the AIDS Support Network (ASN) are teaming up on April 18, 2012 as part of their 5% Wednesday program. Both New Frontiers and ASN share a commitment to supporting communities through education and championing healthy lifestyles.
In order to support community based non-profits, New Frontiers established the 5% Wednesday program which donates 5% of the stores daily sales to a chosen non-profit once a month. It’s a great win win situation and the best part is all of their fresh bakery, deli, and other cooked to order items are included as well, so invite your friends and dig in!
Mmmm….think of all the pies…and cakes…and pies. Oh, and salad. Waaaaay back in the distance. Too far. More pie.
Don’t forget the cupcakes…But seriously, they have Mongolian BBQ, sushi, panini press, gelato, and soups too!
So if you are looking for locally grown, fresh, organic fruits and vegetables or holistic remedies, New Frontiers is your place. Even if you wanted to grab a quick, healthy lunch on the go you can eat in the cafe lounge. New Frontiers also offers informative classes on a variety of food related topics.
Thanks to New Frontiers, ASN can use funds to revitalize programs like the food pantry and vouchers. There will also be a food drive on-site in the store so you can donate non-perishable items from the store to our food pantry.

Big thank you to New Frontiers again, without the support from local businesses and individuals the work of a non-profit would be even more difficult and we couldn’t serve our community to our full capacity. See you April 18! Bonus points if you wear red!
