Thanks to Whole Foods Porter Ranch in Northridge
, Kidpower’s growing Southern California presence is getting a big boost!
Wednesday, March 11, 5% of all purchases at Whole Foods Porter Ranch will go to Kidpower to provide bullying prevention and interpersonal safety skills workshops for preschools and elementary schools in the surrounding community.
We are thrilled to have seasoned Kidpower instructors returning to the area and new instructors completing their training, and all of them are excited about introducing Kidpower to schools and families that have not had the benefit of on-site Kidpower training opportunities before.
If you live in Northridge area, we hope you’ll stop by on Wednesday, March 11 to visit the Kidpower table, meet an instructor, take a look at our materials, ask about how to bring Kidpower to your school — and shop to support Kidpower! Your purchases will help kids, and the community, be safer.
