Whole Planet was founded with the goal of alleviating poverty in countries where Whole Foods Market sources products. On October 25, 2005, Whole Foods Market held a company-wide 5% Community Day in stores that provided $525,000 in seed funds for Whole Planet. Since inception, Whole Foods Market has contributed more than $37 million.
