Road Trip To Whole Foods Atlanta

Last weekend, Thistle Farms' Sales Reps Cynthia, Shana and Cynthia took a road trip to visit the Atlanta-area Whole Foods. We met the amazing Whole Foods employees and Thistle Farms fans helping us to share our story and products with our friends in Atlanta. Cynthia, a Magdalene graduate and Thistle Farms employee of seven years, shares her experience:

"It is a privilege to be able to go to Atlanta and tell others about the good news of our ministry - how other ladies have received a new life and have gained employment. Being there allows me to see the need to partner with the Atlanta area. When I tell my story about entering Magdalene and about Thistle Farms, it gives others the freedom to talk about their struggles, and that is a powerful reward for us. It allows our work to progress and help other women to find sanctuary from the streets.  So, I hope by our being in the Whole Foods Stores in Atlanta, it will touch someone’s heart to begin a program there."

Thank you so much to all those that came to see us. We look forward to getting to know you more in coming months, and we are thrilled to see all we can achieve in Atlanta as we spread the truth and power of love to our friends in Georgia.
