Acacia Organics business owners, Judy Zabielski and Laura Mueller, are thankful to the Barrington Breakfast Rotary Club's (BBRC) Micro-Credit program that helped them finance the store inventory in preparation for the holiday shopping season.
"The Micro-Credit we received helped us to fill our store with healthy gifts. The personal care they showed us was so touching and we are very appreciative that they are helping to spread the word about our valuable services," says Judy.
The Barrington Breakfast Rotary Club's Micro-Credit Program focuses on creating new sources of income and is more personal and customized to the opportunity at hand. At its core, the Micro-Credit Program is about helping people working to help themselves.
"The BBRC Micro-Credit program focuses on small loans to local entrepreneurs. BBRC's motivation is to provide opportunity for people to start or expand an income-generating business venture," says Narayan Murarka, BBRC's Past President. A limited number of loans, with a maximum amount of $5,000, are granted at a modest interest rate - prime plus two points.
We are pleased to partner with Acacia Organics who specializes in health, wellness, nutrition, and beauty and its philosophy is centered on Life, Balance and Beauty. A brief video depicting their products and services can be viewed at this link: www.balibrary.org/business
Life is precious; we should protect it. We were meant to live in harmony with nature, not toxic chemicals. Acacia Organics carries products used in everyday life that are safe, natural, and effective alternatives to the artificial and toxic chemical products in the market.
Balance is achieving harmony within oneself. Whether one is imbalanced nutritionally or so imbalanced that one is showing signs of illness, Acacia has the tools to uncover the source of the issue and to help balance the body in a way that provides a greater state of health and wellness.
Beauty from the inside out is achieved through good nutrition, exercise and constantly detoxifying oneself in a world where we are exposed to pollution, toxins, and chemicals on a daily basis. Acacia Organics enhances your natural beauty with suggestions for gentle skin care and cosmetics that minimize aging and provide an enriched glow that is already being experienced internally.
