Our team members are part of the Cary community and they are passionate about supporting the local causes that are important to our shoppers and neighbors. First off, it’s a given that we donate food to area food banks and shelters. We have food; they know how to get it to people who need it. Done. Then several times a year, our store holds community giving days (otherwise known as “5% Days”) where five percent of that day’s net sales are donated to a local nonprofit or educational organization. Last but not least, we donate goods and services to local organizations for special events, educational programs or just general support.
Each quarter we support a local non profit organization with a 5% day. Our team members vote on which organizations we support making it truly a day we can all stand behind! 5% day applicants should be local 501c3 non-profit organizations. If you meet this requirement and would like to appply, email elizabeth.taylor@wholefoods.com
We are happy to provide local non profit organizations with goods and services to help with events and general support needs. All requests are reviewed on a monthly basis and recipients will be notified as soon as possible. Please be advised that due to the large volume of requests that we receive, we require a minimum of 4 weeks advanced notice for any donation. Unfortunately, we can not honor every request and will only contact you if we can provide a donation for your organization. If you are interesting in applying for any of the three donation programs listed above please download our Donation Request Form and email it to elizabeth.taylor@wholefoodsmarket.com.or drop it off at our Customer Service Desk.
