Art and Craft Sale

Noon - 3pm, Reservations not required

Our Art and Craft fair will feature several artists and craft persons to help jump start your gift-giving spirit in preparation for the holidays. There will be lots of reasonably priced art and crafts for sale, with 10% of every purchase donated to the Whole Planet Foundation. Some of the artists are our very own team members, and we are proud to support them in their artistic endeavors outside of their careers at Whole Foods Market. We also welcome some artists from the St. Louis community who have agreed to be a part of our holiday art fair. Operation Food Search will also be selling their “Empty Bowls” which is pottery made by several local artists. We are very excited about the beautiful, hand-made products that will be for sale that day and we’re doubly pleased to support a great cause in the process. Hope to see you there!

Meet Our One Dime at a Time Recipient: Five Acres Animal Shelter

12 - 3pm, Free, Reservations not required.

Whole Foods Market gives 10 cents per bag to customers who re-use their own shopping bags for their purchased groceries. This program reduces our impact on the environment and supports local nonprofit groups. Throughout October, November and December, customers will have the choice to accept their cash refund or donate the cash back to our store’s chosen nonprofit organization, Five Acres Animal Shelter. Five Acres Animal Shelter is a no kill shelter in St. Charles and finds homes for over 600 dogs and cats each year. In addition to the adoption program, they also have a pet food pantry for low income pet owners and a youth education program. For more information, please visit www.fiveacresanimalshelter.org. The first 25 customers to come by their table to meet them will receive a free Whole Foods Market tote bag.
