Community Service Opportunities

Whole Foods Market South Beach has adopted the beach between 10 and 14 street through the Miami Beach Adopt-A-Beach program. Join Jordan Wolfe, our Green Mission Specialist, on the beach to help us keep our community clean and beautiful. Bring: hat, sunscreen, and water. We’ll be cleaning our beach twice a month. Sign up at the Health Starts Here Desk or via email. Meet on the Beach 10th Street and the sand. Check out our upcoming Beach Cleanups dates. Our Beach Cleanups can help you or your children accumulate official Community Service hours.

Donate Your Dime!
Bring your Reusable Bags and Donate your Bag Refund! Customers who bring their own shopping bags receive a 10 cent refund per bag or can choose to donate the refund to one of two charities; a local nonprofit or the Whole Planet Foundation. Please ask a cashier for details on the local charity.

Green Mission
Whole Foods Market is continuing to strengthen its commitment to the environment. Most of the stores participate in a composting program where food waste and compostable paper goods are regenerated into compost. Each store has a Green Mission Team, an internal task force composed of Team Members who inform and improve green actions for their store. Whole Foods Market’s  downtown Austin and Sarasota stores are recognized for their sustainable green building practices and are LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified. Recently, the Chicago South Loop store was the first in the Company to earn LEED Gold certification. Additionally, many stores serve as a collection point for shoppers to recycle their plastic bags.  Whole Foods Market also has won the prestigious EPA Green Power award consecutively for the past four years for its renewable energy credit purchases.
