Medford Organizations to Receive 5% of Whole Foods Sales

This week two separate Medford organizations will benefit from special donation days at Whole Foods Market in Medford.

On Wednesday, January 14 Whole Foods Medford will donate 5% of its profits to feed the hungry at Medford’s own UU Community Cupboard.

On Thursday, January 15 English at Large will receive 5% of the Medford store’s total pretax sales for that day.

Whole Foods Market created 5% Days to give back to its local communities by providing support to nonprofit organizations whose programs directly benefit the communities surrounding its stores. 5% Days are held quarterly in each store.

English At Large (EAL) is a nonprofit that provides individual and small group instruction through a volunteer network to adult immigrants and other newcomers who want to acquire English language skills as they adapt to life in the United States. The Community Cupboard Food Pantry has operated out of the Unitarian Universalist Church on High Street since the early 1990s and provides food for people in need every Thursday evening from 6:00-7:30pm.
