Whole Foods' 'Nickels for Nonprofits' Partners with MVLA Community Scholars

By Carolyn Pierce-Whang

Whenever you reuse your own grocery bags at Whole Foods Market on El Camino Real in Los Altos, you are given the opportunity to donate a nickel to a local charity.

MVLA Community Scholars is honored to have been chosen by Whole Foods to benefit from the “Nickels for Nonprofits” program through July 6. 

When customers use their own bags for groceries, instead of getting a 5-cent credit, the money can be donated. 

During this time period we urge you to shop at Whole Foods, reuse you bags, and choose to donate your nickel to support the work of local charities. 

MVLA Community Scholars, is a group that provides four-year scholarships to local, underserved, low income MVLA students, most of whom are first in their family to attend college.

Whole Foods is at 4800 El Camino Real.
