Health Fair at Whole Foods Brings Local Organizations and Community Together

Participants include the Campbell Recreation Department, the Health Trust and Club One Fitness.

Whole Foods Campbell is offering up the opportunity to meet health related organizations within the community today at 11:00 a.m. at its Health Fair.

The event takes place at Whole Foods from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and aims at being a way for the community and participants to connect, said Whole Foods spokeswoman Tina Manickam.

"Our customer base is very health conscious people that care about the quality of food they consume, and so we feel that they are more likely to take the time to learn about health-related organizations, and see how they can benefit from them," Manickam said.

The event also gives local gyms and yoga studios an opportunity to talk to people to give them an idea about programs and promotions they are running, she said.

"Whole Foods as a company is totally into educating our team members and our customers about various ways to stay fit and eat healthy, and so we try to host events that will act as a resource for people to achieve that goal," Manickam said.

Participants in today's event include:

  • Campbell Recreation Department
  • HealthESolutions
  • Club One Fitness
  • EDRC Yoga Instruction
  • And many more.

Manickam said that these participants were all chosen for the Health Fair for one reason: they are all local.

"We have supported these practitioners and organizations in various capacities in the last few months," she said. "Some of them do store tours for their clients at our store, we donate to their events, and carry their literature in our store. We also help advertise some of their non-profit events at our store.

"This is a great way to promote local businesses for a win-win partnership."

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
