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. |

Register Donation Coupon
We help numerous non-profit organizations raise money through donation coupons that are made available at checkout and added to a customer's order at their request. We typically feature a different organization each month. Some of the groups that we've helped over the past year include the Pine Street Inn, Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition, Massachusetts Audubon Society, Community Harvest Project, AIDS Walk, Greenlock Therapeutic Riding Center, Why Me, Massachusetts Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA), and many, many more.
Community Service & Donations
We are proud to support our community every day in one way or another. Whether a team member is volunteering his or her time through our Community Service program, or if we are donating food to a fundraising event, we are contributing.
We give careful consideration to each non-profit that applies for this financial support. Some of the groups we've supported over the years include the Charles River Watershed Assn., Northeast Organic Farmers Assn. (NOFA), Women's Center for Wellness, Share Our Strength/Operation Frontline, The Milk Fund, The Food Allergy Network, and Earth Ltd., to name a few.
