San Antonio River Foundation Fund Drive
Whole Earth is so pleased to be partnering with the San Antonio River Foundation. We ask that you stop by our Alamo Quarry Market store to make a contribution there as you browse our eclectic offerings under the smoke stacks. The S.A.R. Foundation is the organization working to beautify the San Antonio River through the heart of the city. Your generous donation will help all along the river with trail enhancements, benches, pavilions, parks and more. The Mission Reach is an eight mile river improvement project which begins downtown and heads south to the four historic missions. Even a dollar or five will be very welcome.
“This is a great opportunity for the San Antonio River Foundation to raise funds and share the news on the developing Mission Reach with engaged and educated consumers that have a keen interest in the community and environment,” said Kim Adams, executive director, San Antonio River Foundation.
“The San Antonio River is the most important environmental element in San Antonio. As the infrastructure and habitat of the river are restored, citizens and visitors will be able to access the river for its recreational and cultural connections.” “The River Foundation is key to enhancing these elements, and Whole Earth Provision Company is pleased to help by offering this limited promotion”, said company founder, Jack Jones.
The San Antonio River Foundation and its supporters, like Whole Earth Provision Company, believe that the river is the lifeblood of our city and continues to preserve and beautify it through public art, parks, outdoor learning spaces and the stories we share in the form of mission portals, reclaimed art works and more.
The San Antonio River Foundation is working on this large-scale, multi-phase project with Bexar County, the San Antonio River Authority, the Army Corps of Engineers and the City of San Antonio. Improvements are projected to be complete by 2013 for the Mission Reach.
