Whole Food Co-op describes itself as “a thriving consumer-owned coop that supports, invests, and partners to create a healthy community.” Through their partnership with us, they’re doing just that.
Each year, Whole Foods Co-op’s Hillside and Denfeld stores donate nearly 80,000 pounds of surplus food, the equivalent of 63,000 nutritious meals for families, children and seniors in our community. Not only do they donate food, but they donate whole foods and organic items investing in the good health of our neighbors in need.
In addition to their food donations, Whole Foods Co-op has supported us through their GIVE program allowing their shoppers to round up their gifts and contribute through in-store donations. Last year this support resulted in 30,430 additional meals for our community. We are grateful for partners like Whole Foods Co-op!
