DONATIONS

We enthusiastically support our communities!

Supporting our communities is a key value for The Markets. We provide family-wage jobs, commit to sustainable business practices and support our local producers and providers.

We also provide one of the most generous community support programs, with donations of food gift cards, food bank and animal shelter donation bags, team member volunteerism and scrip fundraising.

We support organizations and activities that target youth, families and the celebration of cultural diversity. We also support community events of broad public appeal and participation.

To apply for a donation, please note the following before you fill out the application form:

• Donations are only made to IRS-approved, tax-exempt nonprofit organizations
• We do not donate to individuals
• Donations are made in the form of gift cards to our stores (no cash donations)
• We do not donate to youth sports teams.
• Your donation must be submitted in writing.
• Your store manager must sign the application.

Please fill out the form and return to the address below, allowing about three weeks to process your request. We respond in writing to all requests.

ANOTHER WAY TO RAISE MONEY FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION

Our scrip program is easy. Nonprofit organizations can purchase scrip, in the form of Market gift cards, in full $1,000 increments (paid in advance) and resold to your members at face value. Your organization keeps 5% of the scrip monies. This is easy money for something you and your members would do anyways: shop for groceries. For more information, please call (360) 714-7746 or email us at (email address).

FOOD BANK AND ANIMAL SHELTER DONATION BAGS

We offer food for people and food for cats and dogs in prepacked bags, ready to be donated to local food banks and animal shelters. Customers purchase these bags of essential nonperishables and animal comfort items: we deliver to the shelters.
