Fundraising efforts will benefit a nonprofit partner, Beyond Pesticides, for its Organic Parks Projects to help reduce synthetic pesticide use at local parks in Natural Grocers' communities.  

TAKE THE PLEDGE & CONTRIBUTE

Natural Grocers invites customers to pledge for the first time or renew their commitment to protecting beneficial insects by committing not to use chemicals that harm ladybugs and other beneficial insects on their lawn or garden and support 100% organic produce. Natural Grocers' goal is to raise $250,000 in April for Beyond Pesticides through the following in-store fundraising opportunities:

• Natural Grocers will donate $1.00 to Beyond Pesticides for every Ladybug Love pledge signed, whether it's a first-time signer or a renewed pledge, from April 1 – 30. ^[IX]
• For every Ladybug Zip Pouch sold in April, Natural Grocers will donate $2 to Beyond Pesticides.
• Customers will have the opportunity to make contributions to Beyond Pesticides ($1, $5 or $10) upon checkout at any one of Natural Grocers' 162 store locations nationwide.
