Community Giving

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!

Committed to the Community

Whole Foods Market sponsors many local events, such as the Starlight Spectacular, Pikes Peak Earth Day and the Pikes Peak Marathon. We also donate food items to a variety of local non-profit organizations committed to our community and the environment. Our overstock items are given to our local food bank, Care & Share, the Colorado College Community Kitchen, and WINN Ministries. We regularly take a Community Crew of employees into the community to volunteer for events such as Make a Difference Day. Our produce waste goes directly to the Venetucci Farm to enrich soil for their educational gardens and the Free Pumpkins for Schoolkids Program.

Donation Requests

Small Change Adds Up

We encourage our customers to reuse bags and we donate 10 cents for each bag to the Doherty High School Tree Huggers Club. This student run club is expanding their recycling program out into the community, allowing their neighbors to drop off their recycling at the school. Additionally, they are funding volunteer projects at Garden of the Gods and Red Rock Canyon. Please stop in the store for more information on our giving programs or to find out how your organization can get involved.
