Whole Foods Markets Dublin Store is featuring AOA as one of two nonprofits benefitting from their “Nickels for Nonprofits” donation program this holiday season.

According to Whole Foods website, the Nickels for Nonprofits program is intended to “reward environmental consciousness! For every recyclable bag a customer uses during their shopping trip, they have the option to redeem .5 cents toward their grocery bill or donate it to a local non-profit.”

Whether you are a regular Whole Foods customer – or if you have not shopped at Whole Foods Dublin store location previously – now would be a good time to visit. Be sure and take your recyclable bags and donate your nickels to AOA! Just request wooden nickels for each recyclable shopping bag and place them in the Nickels for Nonprofits donation box designated for AOA (look for our sign) by the exit door.

Whole Food is also donating the proceeds from their “spiral coin drop funnel”. Children (and adults) enjoy propelling spare coins around the funnel where they are collected and donated to nonprofit causes. AOA has been designated as the beneficiary of Whole Foods Dublin store coin drop for the holiday period and has placed a promotional sign over the coin drop apparatus. Feel free to drop in your spare change and support AOA after shopping!

All proceeds donated will support AOA’s mission to conserve and steward our land and water as sustainable natural resources that are an asset and a legacy for our community.
