DONATIONS - Giving to our local community

Wild Oats Market is dedicated to supporting families affected by food insecurity. We invite you to learn more about our community-driven efforts and how you can contribute to making a positive impact. Together, we can strengthen our neighborhoods and ensure that every household has access to nutritious food.

We help to contribute regularly to non-profit organizations serving our community, with a focus on those groups helping in areas central to our mission and ends policy.

Wild Oats supports local with the Every Penny Counts Program (Formerly Round Up for Change), Service Desk Drop-Box, in-store Tabling, Donations and fundraising (Families Feeding Families Program, Ice Cream Social, Nourishing Neighbors).
