Community Giving
At Whole Foods Market, we are active participants in our community. We are extremely proud of our community involvement and the relationships that we continue to build each month! We strive to make a difference and below are some of our programs:
General Donations
Each Whole Foods Market store has a monthly budget designated for a donation of food or funds to local 501-C (3) not-for-profit organizations. Donation requests must be received at least 30 days prior to the date of the event for consideration. If you have missed the deadline, please consider us for future donations.
5% Days
Our Community 5% Days are 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.
Nickels For NonProfits
A nickel can go a long way! Whole Foods Market gives customers a 5-cent credit for reusing their own shopping bags every day.
Did you know that we have a program where customers can donate their 5-cent bag credit to local non-profit organizations? If you are a customer who reuses bags to save paper, consider giving your credit to a local charity. If you are non-profit organization, you can apply to be considered for the program.
New School Scrip Program
Introducing our new and improved Scrip Program! Through this program 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 either denominations of $10, $20, $50, $100–only one card denomination per order. 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.
