5% Days at Ellwood's
It's pretty simple. On 5% Day we donate 5% of that day's sales to a local nonprofit organization. The event takes place on a Saturday four times a year.
How it works: Volunteers from a local nonprofit organization join Ellwood Thompson's staff members on the selected 5% Day to bag groceries and talk to customers about their organization. The organization is welcome to set up an information table and encouraged to spread the word to friends and neighbors about the event. It's a fantastic way to spread word about your organization and to earn fundraising dollars in a fun and friendly environment.
Outreach areas of interest are the environment, education, art, and animal care and rescue, among others. We encourage smaller organizations that are in need of funding to apply. For more information, contact Lesley Johnson at ljohnson@ellwoodthompsons.com.
