Co-op Kids Love Coloring Contest winner

Congratulations Chase!

We are excited to announce the winner of our February 2025 Co-op Kids Love Coloring Contest—Chase! Chase is a talented young artist who is nonverbal and faces challenges with his profound level three autism / ADHD. His love for art contest participation earned him a $25 prize package filled with Field Day organic goodies, including skinny stick pretzels, mini rod pretzels, whole grain honey nut O's cereal, green pitted olives, cut green beans, and tomato ketchup—yum!

Art has been a special outlet for Chase, bringing him joy and focus in his colorful world of textures and imagination. When his mom went to pick up his prize, she had a serendipitous meeting with Shawn from the Berkshire Coalition for Suicide Prevention and Community Access to the Arts (CATA). This connection opened up new opportunities for Chase to join an art group and further develop his talents.

Chase’s story is a heartwarming reminder of the power of creativity and community. We are grateful to everyone who participated in the contest, adding color and connection to Wild Oats Market.

Interested in the fun? We invite all kids aged 12 and under to participate in next Coloring Contest. Pick up your coloring sheet at the register at the coop or click here for the current Kids Coloring Contest.

Let's make more memories together!
