LOS ANGELES, CA – April 28, 2010 – Green Wish, the grassroots non-profit
charitable organization that helps local green organizations fund projects
for their communities, today announced a partnership with Anawalt Lumber.
Anawalt Lumber is one of the last family-owned and operated lumber/hardware
companies in Los Angeles, with 3 LA-area locations.

Green Wish accepts "pay what you can" donations at local retailers by
enabling customers at these retail locations to make small donations at the
cash register. Green Wish then facilitates aggregating and routing these
donations to nine different local green organizations. In the past year,
Green Wish donations have funded projects at non-profits including Surfrider
Foundation, Jane Goodall’s Roots and Shoots, Algalita, and the Los Angeles
Conservation Corps.

“We are excited to partner with Anawalt Lumber to enable donations for local
green organizations at Anawalt’s three LA locations,” stated Raphael Sbarge,
Green Wish founder. “Their standing as a local Los Angeles community
institution matches perfectly with Green Wish’s philosophy of supporting
local green community organizations. We anticipate an enthusiastic response
from Anawalt’s customer base in supporting our nine local green
organizations.”

In celebration of the new partnership, several celebrity environmentalists
serving on Green Wish’s board will present at Anawalt’s 10th Annual Garden
Event. The event will focus on the practical application of green gardening
at home. Speakers from the Green Wish board include Ed Begley Jr., Rachelle
Carson-Begley, Sharon Lawrence, and Darren Moore. Anawalt’s Garden Event
will be on May 1 and 2, 2010 from 11am-3pm at 1160 W. Pico Blvd., Los
Angeles, CA 90064. For more information, please visit www.anawaltlumber.com
