Community Giving
At Whole Foods Market Noe Valley, we are active participants in our community. We are extremely proud of our community involvement and the relationships that we continue to make each month through our Nickels for Non-profits program,sponsorships & donations, SCRIP, and Community 5% Days.
Sponsorships & Donations
Each month, Whole Foods Market Noe Valley is pleased to sponsor several non-profit organizations as our way of giving back to those that help make our community better. If you belong to a non-profit group that fits with Whole Foods’ mission and have a specific event or program that needs sponsorship, please apply here to be considered. Due to the volume of requests we receive, we may not be able to fulfill every donation request and respond to every application. Donation requests must be received at least 4-6 weeks prior to the date of the event for consideration. If you have missed the deadline, please consider us for future donations.
SCRIP
Scrip may be purchased in $1000 increments; your organization will receive a 4% discount on the purchase. Our scrip is available on gift cards in the following denominations ($10, $25, $50, $100). It is not necessary to spend the entire amount on the card in one purchase – your balance will remain on the card for future use. Our scrip is redeemable at all Whole Foods Markets across the nation. Please write to Liz.Rowland@WholeFoods.com to inquire about purchasing SCRIP for local schools. Please keep in mind that SCRIP can take a few weeks to process.
Community 5% Days
This is one meaningful way we give back to our community. On designated days throughout the year a total of 5% of the day’s net sales are donated to local non-profit organizations. Customers help support our selected organizations just by shopping on these 5% Days. Please contact Liz.Rowland@wholefoods.com for more information.
Nickels for Non-profits
When customers bring in their own bags for groceries they have the option of receiving a five cent credit (per bag); or the customer has the option to donate the five cents to a selected non-profit organization. Bring in your own bag and support your community today!
