Waukesha, Wis. (June 6th, 2013) – Good Harvest Market has donated $2,000 to the Waukesha Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Funds were raised on June 1st during the store's monthly 5&5 Day event, where 5% of all purchases were donated to the local non-profit organization. Good Harvest Market also contributed to the funds that were raised. As part of the event, customers also had the opportunity to donate their additional 5% discount to the organization.

“Eating healthy is just one part of a balanced life” said Jody Nolan, Good Harvest co-owner.  “We feel that one’s mental health is equally as important, and are happy to raise funds for NAMI-Waukesha and the vital services they provide to local residents in need."

The National Alliance on Mental Illness of Waukesha County is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide help to those affected by mental illness.  Since 1982, NAMI Waukesha has worked to improve the understanding of mental illness and share the hope of recovery by offering information, support, education and advocacy services.
