For every reusable bag you bring into the store to pack up your groceries, the cashier will stamp the top of your receipt with a Green Stamp. If you donate the top-portion of your receipt into the Green Stamp Box (located next to the store exit door), proceeds collected will go to the current Green Stamp Program recipient.

Every quarter, the Valley Natural Foods Donation Committee selects a Green Stamp Program recipient based on the organization’s sustainable impact on the environment. All proceeds generated from our Green Stamp Program collected during April 1 – June 30, 2010 will be given to:

Got Local? Farmer/Buyer Networking,

a program of Renewing the Countryside.

 Each stamp is worth $.05, which encourages shoppers to bring in their own reusable bags. Shoppers also have the option to save up their Green Stamps and redeem them for $1.00 savings off their next grocery purchase for every 20 stamps collected.

Do you know of or belong to an organization that could benefit from the Valley Natural Foods Green Stamp Program?  Stop by customer service and ask for a Community Donations Request Form or click here for an online version.  Make sure to indicate on the form "Green Stamp Program" along with your information.
