Community Giving

At Whole Foods Market, 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.

Coupons at Checkout
We offer coupon programs at the checkout, along with other stores in the region, to provide our customers with a convenient way to contribute to groups that need their financial support.

Community Events
We work with various other local businesses around town to lend a hand at many community events. Priority is given to community groups and organizations, schools and children, health and environmental causes, and local organizations serving people in need.

Donation Requests
We welcome donation requests from non-profit groups who work to improve our local community or the environment. We especially seek to support environmental and educational associations, as well as groups working for hunger relief and sustainable agriculture.

To request a donation, you must obtain a Donation Request Form from our Customer Service desk. Please submit the completed form with a formal letter of request and a copy of your organization's 501(c) 3 form stating your tax-exempt status from the IRS. All donation requests must be received at least six weeks in advance of the date needed and must include the appropriate forms to be considered.

Is your group looking for a meeting space?

Please stop by Customer Service or call 617-876-6990 to reserve our Community Room for your next meeting.
