Nourishing Our Neighborhoods

Through the Nourishing Our Neighborhoods program, Whole Foods Market funds the purchase of refrigerated vans for food-recovery organizations so they can transport fresh, healthy food back to their communities — a critical, and oftentimes difficult, step in the food-redistribution process.

How Nourishing Our Neighborhoods Makes a Difference

- Each vehicle has the capacity to rescue 20,000 pounds of food weekly.
- 1,040,000 pounds of food per vehicle per year can be diverted from landfills.
- 8,666,667 meals can be shared over the van’s 10-year life cycle.

Recipient Organizations

To nourish people and the planet, and in response to significant food insecurity needs in communities, all Whole Foods Market operational areas participate in the Nourishing Our Neighborhoods program. Through this program, we continue to grow our relationship with food-rescue organizations across the U.S. and Canada, which supports our pledge to cut our food waste in half by 2030 as part of the Amazon Sustainability Action Plan. opens in a new tab

Nourishing Our Neighborhoods Program Expansion

Since the program's inception in 2020, Nourishing Our Neighborhoods has expanded to now include Nourishing Our Neighborhoods mobile pantry events. These free events are farmers market-style events held in partnership with nonprofit food-rescue organizations participating in Whole Foods Market’s Grocery Rescue Program. Each event provides pantry staples and fresh produce for over 700 families facing food insecurity. Mobile pantry partner recipients in 2025 received a Nourishing Our Neighborhoods van in 2026. Watch the video about the program HERE. opens in a new tab
