Great Turnout for Our Whole Day for Whole Grain Event
Our Whole Day for Whole Grain celebration on Wednesday, March 30 showed off everything that makes whole grains great – the flavors, the health benefits, the vibrant community of people passionate about sharing the goodness of whole grains. Look for #SampleWholeGrains on social media for a look back at all the activity.
Significant Engagement on Social Media
Over 100 partners, including many of you, joined our event, posting videos and photos, sharing tips, and offering discounts. We had several schools participating this year with classroom activities focused on whole grains, and many of our supermarket partners joined in with creative online classes and virtual store tours. Thanks for helping us cheer on whole grains!
