5% For The Community
6 days per year. 6 local non-profits. 5% of one day’s sales given to great groups doing great things.
To directly give back to the community, that supports our mission, values and the livelihoods of dozens of employees, 6 days per year we donate 5% of one day’s sales to a local, non-profit organization. Volunteers from these local non-profits join our staff members to help bag groceries, do carry-outs, and speak with customers about their organizations. These local non-profits spread the word to friends and neighbors about their 5% Day and invite them to support through their patronage. 5% days are a fantastic way to spread the word about your local non-profit and to fundraise in a friendly environment.
