THANK YOU! Kimberton Whole Foods’ Traveling Mercies Fundraiser Totals!

In a fundraiser that began at the end of December and wrapped up January 31^st, $7,573.67 was raised for Aldo Magazzeni and Traveling Mercies.  In true community spirit, money was donated by generous Kimberton Whole Foods customers.  In addition, Kimberton Whole Foods has MATCHED all donations, bringing the grand total to $15,147,34. The fundraiser will help Aldo in his future projects in Afghanistan, Kenya, and Mexico, and it will help improve the quality of life of hundreds of people.

Aldo Magazzeni is a local man that has helped improve the quality of life of people all over the world.  Through his foundation, Traveling Mercies, Aldo works to promote peace by assisting communities in need through the most appropriate and resourceful methods.  He believes in human equality and that it can be achieved through compassion, love, and sharing our life experiences. He not only empowers people with knowledge and life skills, but also with confidence and a sense of hope for humanity.

In December and January, Aldo Magazzeni personally hosted several talks at Kimberton Whole Foods locations to share future projects and photographs taken during his humanitarian missions.  These were wonderful community events.

Currently, we are holding a second fundraiser to specifically benefit the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.  This fundraiser will run until the end of February, with collection containers at Kimberton Whole Foods’ registers.

Aldo has just returned from Haiti, and will speak of his experience at an event on 2/24/10 in the Café of the Kimberton Store.  The event will run from 7-9pm, with light dinner provided.  Come and see Aldo’s photos of Haiti and hear him speak firsthand.
