The annual Chum Food Drive raised thousands

The annual Chum Food Drive took place at the Whole Foods co-op today.

This event happens every year but since this year there are two stores they were able to raise twice the amount of donations.

They raised $8,727 in donations and 944 pounds of food. 

Cashiers ask people to simply round up their purchases at the end of there shopping experience.

Ali Wade, Brand Manager for Whole Foods, said “I had a lot of people ask me if they could continue to round up year round.”
