Whole Foods Market is excited announce the One Dime at a Time Program. Whole Foods Market gives 10 cents per bag to customers who re–use their own shopping bags for their purchased groceries. This program reduces our impact on the environment and supports a local non–profit group. Customers will have the choice to accept their cash refund, or direct the cashier to donate the cash back to the store's chosen non profit organization.
