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. All year round, we 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.

At Whole Foods Market Marlton, 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! We strive to make a difference.

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.

Donations

In addition to providing quality all natural products and healthy lifestyle information, Whole Foods Market in Marlton also strives to be an integral part of the community by reaching out to our neighbors who are in need of assistance. Each month, we dedicate a portion of funds to be used as donations in the form of gift certificates and healthful food items, to help support some of the vital non-profit organizations in the area who are also dedicated to making our community a better place. If you are with a non-profit organization holding a 501c3 designation and would like to apply for a donation or establish an ongoing food distribution partnership with Whole Foods Market, please pick up a Donation Request Form at our Customer Service desk or call 856.797.7215 for more information.

Community Service

It's not unusual to find our team members rolling up their sleeves, packing up their cars and heading out to help with a local fundraising event, providing support through our Community Service Program, in whatever way they can. Hammering their way through a construction site, helping to build a new home for a family with Habitat for Humanity; handing out cold drinks and fresh fruit to exhausted participants of a walkathon; and organizing the pantry at our local food bank are just a few ways our team members volunteer their time. If your non-profit 501c3 organization has a special project they'd like some help with, please contact Jen Honovic at jennifer.honovic@wholefoods.com or 856.797.7215 for more information.

Community Involvement
