DONATIONS - Giving to our local community

EVERY PENNY COUNTS REDIRECTED:

Because of the complications with SNAP funding, we’ve temporarily refocused our round-up program so that all proceeds now go toward supporting food insecurity efforts - until further notice.

Wild Oats Market is dedicated to supporting families affected by food insecurity through initiatives like Nourishing Neighbors and Healthy Food For All. 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. Click here to learn more.

We 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.


Current Community Support Programs

Our Service Desk Drop-box is now accepting non-perishable food items to help support neighbors facing food insecurity. You'll find the collection box as you enter the co-op, and all donations go directly to trusted local partners.

  • Dec 2025: Berkshire Food Project

  • Jan 2026: Williamstown Food Pantry

Every Penny Counts is our round-up program that supports local non-profits and helps build a stronger community, one penny at a time at checkout. *In an effort to provide increased assistance to those facing food insecurity, we have redirected our EPC program to support local food pantries.
