LAKEWOOD, Colo., April 5,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Grocers® announces

BEYOND PESTICIDES & LADYBUG LOVE
Natural Grocers is thrilled to celebrate the fifth year of
Ladybug Love – its way of championing creatures that are sometimes
taken for granted: insects! Natural Grocers aims to bring awareness
to these little critters that play a crucial role in the stability
of our food supply and regenerative farming. Fundraising efforts
will benefit a nonprofit partner, Beyond Pesticides, for its
Organic Parks Projects to help reduce synthetic pesticide use
at local parks in Natural Grocers' communities.
TAKE THE PLEDGE & CONTRIBUTE
Natural Grocers invites customers to pledge for the first time
or renew their commitment to protecting beneficial insects by
committing not to use chemicals that harm ladybugs and other
beneficial insects on their lawn or garden and support 100% organic
produce. Natural Grocers' goal is to raise $250,000 in April for Beyond Pesticides through
the following in-store fundraising opportunities:
- Natural Grocers will donate $1.00
to Beyond Pesticides for every Ladybug Love pledge signed, whether
it's a first-time signer or a renewed pledge, from April 1 – 30. [i]
- {N}power® members who make or renew their pledge from
April 1 – 15, will also receive
$5 off their purchase on Earth Day,
April 22. [ii]
- For every Ladybug Zip Pouch sold, Natural Grocers will donate
$2 to Beyond Pesticides.
- Customers will have the opportunity to make contributions to
Beyond Pesticides ($1, $5 or $10) upon
checkout at any one of Natural Grocers' 161 store locations
nationwide.
