Founded in 1980 as one small store in Austin, Texas, Whole Foods MarketŪ is now the
world\'s leading retailer of natural and organic foods, with more than 270 stores in
North America and the United Kingdom. To date Whole Foods Market remains uniquely
mission driven: We\'re highly selective about what we sell, dedicated to stringent

We believe in a virtuous circle entwining the food chain, human beings and Mother
Earth: each is reliant upon the others through a beautiful and delicate symbiosis

Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee is a non profit organization, a 501 C Corporation,
dedicated to helping children. Our main focus is to help orphans and children in
need the most: impoverished children in third world countries and homeless children
in inner city neighborhoods in the United States.

Mission Grounds is currently helping children in the US, China, Russia, Costa Rica,
South Africa, Kenya and Venezuela. We provide support in many ways; from food to
shelter and clothing to books and school supplies. We also provide monthly support
to orphans in Africa, Russia, Costa Rica, China and Venezuela.

We are currently engaged in two large construction projects which include building
our second school in China and our first orphanage in Venezuela. Both projects
should be completed by Summer 2008. Plans are also under way to build another school
in China and another orphanage in Venezuela with a kick-off for both planned for
Spring 2008. We are also looking at construction projects in South Africa, Nigeria
and in The Sudan.


In Atlanta, Mission Grounds is working with a homeless shelter for children, the
Jars of Clay shelter. We have contributed new appliances for the shelter's kitchen,
provided craft materials for after school fun and supplied book bags which included
school supplies and children's books for over 300 children. We have also recently
supplied them with winter clothes and coats; built 2 playgrounds and put up a safety
fence around the perimeter.
