Additionally on opening morning, Whole Foods Market provided a food donation to Northern Virginia Food Rescue., The nonprofit previously received a refrigerated van from the company, which makes regular surplus food pickups from Whole Foods Market stores to help prevent food waste and serve the surrounding community. Both donations are part of Whole Foods Market's Nourishing Our Neighborhoods program, which aims to enhance the ability of local food rescue organizations to transport food to areas facing the greatest need: each donated van has the capacity to rescue more than 1 million pounds of food, equating to over 866,000 meals, per year.
