Community Giving

At Whole Foods Market Portland, 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.

• 5% Community Support Day Form
• Donation Request Form

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 5% Days. We also support local non profit organizations through our "Change for Change" Program. Every time a customer uses their own reusable bag at the register, we donate .10 per bag to one of our four different non profits selected quarterly for "Change for Change". Our customers choose which of the four organizations they would like their bag donation to go to each time they shop with us.

Here are a list of organizations that have benefited from our 5% Days and "Change for Change" Program :
