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.

At Whole Foods Market Georgetown, we are active participants in our community. We are proud of our community involvement and the relationships that we continue to make each month!

Community 5% Days

Our Community 5% Days are a meaningful way to give back to our community. Four times a year on a designated day, a total of 5% of the day's sales are donated to local non-profit organizations. Customers help support our selected organizations just by shopping on these 5% Days.    

We regularly review all incoming 5% Day applications to determine the next non-profit recipient. Selected organizations spread the good news by inviting friends, supporters and other members of the community to shop at the supporting Whole Foods Market on their 5% Day. During the 5% Day representatives from the chosen non-profit spend the day at the store sharing information about their organization and getting the word out about the 5% Day.

If you are interested in applying to become a 5% Day recipient, please complete our 5% Day application available at our Customer Service booth or email fadia.jawdat@wholefoods.com.

Special Event Donations

We support local organizations which focus on health and human services, education, environmental preservation, hunger relief, the arts and animal compassion. However, each Whole Foods Market location has budgetary constraints and can only approve a limited number of the many donation request applications received. For a donation request form, please visit the customer service desk or email fadia.jawdat@wholefoods.com.

To be eligible to receive a donation from our store, you must be a local nonprofit, and a donation request form must be completed in its entirety with the required documentation at least 8 weeks in advance of the event date. No exceptions. Due to the large number of donation requests we receive, we cannot respond to the status of your donation until the month before your event, and can only respond to those groups we are able to support. Phone calls in reference to donations under review cannot be returned.

Store Tours

If you would like to request a date for a store tour, please complete our tour request form which is available at our Customer Service Booth.
