    Food bank gets shopping spree at Whidbey supermarket


    Posted at 2:36 pm by Amy Rolph

    Good Cheer Food Bank Manager Damien Cortez will sprint through the aisles of The Goose Community Grocer next week, trying to gather as much food as he can.

    The five-minute shopping spree was donated by the grocery store to help stock the Good Cheer Food Bank for the holiday season.

    The Goose originally donated the spree at an auction last summer, where Bayview residents Ed and Chris Halloran bought and donated the prize to the food bank.

    We wrote about The Goose last month. It's an unusual arrangement -- a non-profit grocery store that exists because of a partnership between Goosefoot, a non-profit organization, and The Myers Group.

    Proceeds are reinvested in the South-Whidbey community.

    The Shopping spree will take place at 1 p.m. on December 18. A statement from Goosefoot has this to say: Empty shopping carts will be placed at the head of each isle and one cart can be used at a time during the race.

    The Goose will also separately contribute $50 from the fresh meat and produce department. Members of the public are welcome to attend.
