HIPPEAS Organic Chickpea Snacks is pleased to announce it is donating $25,000 in 2021 to Whole Kids Foundation, a nonprofit founded by Whole Foods Market. The company's contributions will be affiliated with the organization's Young Entrepreneursprogram. A portion of the investment will be awarded to Roots for the Home Team, a Minnesota, St. Paul-based, youth-led business that gives teens opportunities for critical thinking and leadership while teaching culinary and business skills. From May 5th to June 1st, for every bag of HIPPEAS Organic Chickpea Puffs or Tortilla Chips sold at Whole Foods Market, the brand will donate a portion of proceeds to Whole Kids Foundation.
Whole Kids Foundation's Young Entrepreneur Pilot Grants support youth-led business programs that are improving the way kids eat through gardening, plant-forward cooking, or nutrition education. These grants support kids to become entrepreneurs because the skills needed as a successful young business leader will benefit them for a lifetime.
