Whole Foods Market Supports Our Community
Whole Foods Market is a company with a conscience — we believe passionately in supporting the communities we serve. A percentage of our sales are used to benefit nonprofit organizations on a monthly basis.
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 nonprofit organizations. Customers help support our selected organizations just by shopping on these designated days. Our 5% Days are planned far in advance and fall into themed categories, including Farms & Harvest, Environment, Hunger & Homelessness, and Back to School. If you would like to be considered for a donation or a 5% Day, please read through our donation guidelines. We will begin accepting applications when our new location opens.


Come celebrate with us before we open our doors! We're hosting a sneak peek preview party with live jazz and delicious food, all locally-produced. The proceeds from the party will benefit Riverside Park Fund, the non-profit organization dedicated to conserving, improving, and beautifying Riverside Park -- New York's classic waterfront green space that provides recreation and relaxation for so many New Yorkers.
