Giving Back Comes Naturally to Us

Did you know we donate 10% of our after-tax profits to local nonprofit organizations? In 2012, we were able to support over 1,000 nonprofit organizations! We believe sharing our success with our community is simply the right thing to do. We focus our support on three key areas: Feeding the hungry, educating our youth and sustaining our local agriculture.

We have a special fondness for Loaves & Fishes, the Meals-On-Wheels People. Each of our stores has a weekly Meals-On-Wheels route to deliver hot food and good conversation to seniors in their neighborhood. Making a delivery is the highlight of everyone's week!

Through the School Fruit Program, we donate 100% of the profits from certain Northwest-grown, organic apples and pears to the Portland, Beaverton, North Clackamas, Hillsboro, Evergreen, Camas and Vancouver Schools Foundations. Look for the School Fruit logo in our produce department.

Door-to-door, hand-to-hand

• Schools can purchase Scrip for a 5% discount. That turns into real money.
• To request a donation for a neighborhood organization, stop by your neighborhood New Seasons Market and speak with the community coordinator.

Bake Sale: Northwest Mothers Milk Bank

Saturday & Sunday, May 11th & 12th, all stores

We’re collecting and matching donations* for the Northwest’s first breast milk bank, which will provide mother’s milk to fragile babies in need. Help us reach our goal of $10,000, and you’ll be helping local families for years to come. Two easy ways to show your support:

• Join us for a Bake Sale this weekend. Purchase a two-pack of our own moist, delicious cupcakes for $2.99, and we’ll donate 100% of the proceeds to the Northwest Mothers Milk Bank.

• Let your cashier know that you want to support the Northwest Mothers Milk Bank by adding a cash donation to your bill.

At New Seasons Market, we’re giving thanks and giving back! This year we’re happy to be able to donate $20,000 to 12 local hunger relief partners doing their part to ensure that all of our neighbors have nutritious food this season:

Backpack Buddies · Community Action · Dinner & A Movie · Fish Emergency Service · Good Neighbor Center · Neighborhood House · Potluck in the Park · Share—Vancouver · Sisters Of The Road · Sunshine Division · Sunshine Pantry · Urban Gleaners

As a grocery store, we focus our grants primarily on supporting three key areas: feeding the hungry, educating youth and improving our environment.

Brief description of reason for request

Our private label has a very public face. Each year, we set aside a portion of the profits from our New Seasons Market brand products, like milk and eggs, to support local farming efforts and help further the connection between the urban and regional food economy. 

In 2012, New Seasons Market granted funds to over 30 organizations, most of them directly supporting local farmers markets! 

Market managers have created inventive ways to increase accessibility to farm-fresh food. Many of the markets have used grant funds to install wireless ATM machines, which also accept SNAP, or food stamp cards. Some of them went a step further and created a matching fund program to award more dollars to SNAP users, making fresh, healthy food even more affordable. And one market created a Mobile Market, taking the farmers market into neighborhoods with little access to fresh, local food.
