Community Giving

Whole Foods Market is a company with a conscience. We believe passionately in supporting the communities we serve. As the world's leading natural and organic foods supermarket, we are committed to each community where we have put down roots, and we support local causes that are important to our friends and neighbors.

Some of the ways we support the Greenville Community include:

The Giving Grill
During the warmer months we combine two of our favorite activities, outdoor grilling and community support. Each time we select a local nonprofit to receive the funds raised during the Giving Grill event!

5% Days
Our 5% Days are another 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. We work closely with the benefiting organizations to promote them through their resources (newsletters, public service announcements, direct mailings, website links, etc) in conjunction with our own. You can support these organizations simply by shopping for groceries on our designated 5% Days.

Donations & Sponsorships

Whole Foods Market also contributes to a number of community events, student groups, fundraisers and organizations all year long through donations and sponsorships. Donation Request forms are available here or at the Customer Service counter and must be filled out entirely and returned to the store's Marketing Team at least 6 weeks prior to the date for which the request is being made.
