Community Giving

Good Stuff From Around Here

We have supported local growers and producers since 1980. Buying local means supporting local communities, jobs, independent farmers and producers; it also reduces the distance from farm to plate, and lets you stay connected to the seasons. This summer we will highlight LOCAL in every department; from local flowers to coffee, honey, cheese, pies, and more! We hope you will stop by and help us support our local growers.

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.

If your 501(c)3 non-profit organization is interested in applying to become a 5% Day recipient, please pick up a 5% Day Application Form at the store.

Whole Foods Market also donates food items and gift cards to local 501(c)3 organizations. The event, fundraiser or program must serve the local community. Whole Foods Market cannot make donations to political organizations. We also cannot make donations to religious organizations unless the donation is used for a local, non-secular, community service-related event or program. Whole Foods Market does not donate food to individuals, individuals or teams seeking pledges, multiple requests from the same organization or causes outside of our local area. To apply for a donation, fill out this ONLINE DONATION APPLICATION. We ask that completed forms be submitted 4-6 weeks in advance. Submitting a form is no gurantee that a donation request will be granted.
