Dogwood is the Donate Your Dimes Recipient!

Donate Your Dimes to Dogwood!

We’re excited to announce a new partnership between Dogwood Alliance and Whole Foods Market on Tunnel Road in Asheville!

For the next few months, Dogwood Alliance will be the recipient of Whole Food’s Donate Your Dimes program! As members of the local community, they are passionate about supporting the local causes that are important to their shoppers and neighbors. Whole Foods Market is a mission-driven company that aims to set the standards of excellence for food. They embrace the responsibility to co-create a world where each of us, our communities and our planet can flourish. All the while, celebrating the sheer love and joy of food.

Reusable Shopping Bag 300

Don’t forget to bring your reusable bag!

Whole Foods Market is making it so easy for you to support Dogwood’s work to protect Southern forests.

Here’s how it works:

  • You go shopping at Whole Foods Market on Tunnel Road.
  • Don’t forget to bring in your own shopping bag!
  • At checkout, Whole Foods rewards you for creating less paper waste by giving you a ten cent refund, OR you can choose for that dime to go to Dogwood instead!

It’s so simple! Just go grocery shopping with your own bag, and voila! You’ve helped, in a small way, to increase protection for Southern forests. We encourage you to buy your nourishing food and put it in reusable bags (something you may already be doing).

It’s a win for everyone, especially our precious Southern forests.
