Four times a year Whole Foods has a special event called 5% day, when each location donates 5 percent of their net sales to a 501c3 non-profit. Today the five Whole Foods in the Seattle Metropolitan area, including the new Interbay store, will be donating to Operation Frontline, a nutrition education program that teaches families how to create healthy and satisfying meals on a budget.

Operation Frontline is run by Solid Ground, an organization committed to helping provide equal opportunities within the Seattle community. Today, much of their work focuses on combating poverty, homelessness and hunger. Solid Ground is based out of the Wallingford neighborhood, and provides assistance to around 38,000 households in King County every year.
