NEW Nourishing Neighbors Program
NEW Nourishing Neighbors Program:
We created a community-driven initiative designed to support local families facing food insecurity. Shoppers are invited to donate any amount at checkout, with 100% of proceeds used to purchase staple grocery items like rice, beans, pasta, and canned vegetables. These items are then donated directly to trusted local food pantries ensuring that every contribution helps bring nourishment to our community.
Standing Together: Supporting Our Community during SNAP Disruptions
At Wild Oats Market, we believe that no one in our community should face hunger alone. In response to rising food insecurity, we’re deepening our commitment to collective care. Through programs like Healthy Food For All, Every Penny Counts, and our new Nourishing Neighbors initiative, we’re working hand-in-hand with local food pantries to ensure families have access to staple groceries and fresh meals. Every donation, whether a few cents at checkout or a can of beans dropped off at the co-op, helps nourish a neighbor. Together, we are a safety net. Together, we stand strong.
