A COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY
Founded in 1955, Natural Grocers has 169 stores in 21 states, with eight stores in Kansas and seven in Missouri. The company is known for caring deeply about the health and well-being of its community, employees and the planet and believes that everyone should be able to afford healthy food and live in a thriving, regenerative environment.

Nutritional Health Coaches (NHCs) from northeast Kansas Natural Grocers stores (Olathe, Overland Park, Shawnee) and northwest Missouri stores (Independence and Liberty) will be onsite, interacting with attendees.

Nutritional Health Coach Regional Manager, SuAnna Foote said, "One of our Five Founding Principles is a 'Commitment to Community'. Another is our 'Commitment to Free Nutrition Education'. An event like this is the perfect opportunity for us to support, educate and inspire our community—in this case, young women, grades K-12 and their families. We're looking forward to hosting our 'Nutrition Hopscotch' game and chatting with the next generation of strong, capable and intelligent women."
