Whole Foods Hyannis Donates To Homelessness Program

Whole Foods Hyannis is giving back to those in need.

Today, the grocery store is donating five percent of its sales to the Duffy Health Center, “In From The Streets” program, which aims to help get the homeless off the streets.

The program, which is open to people from across Cape Cod, offers temporary motel subsidies and multi-agency case management to persons experiencing homelessness. It provides clients with “an initial step” towards permanent housing, supportive programs and a return to the community, according to the press release.

“It may not feel like winter today,” Duffy CEO Heidi Nelson said in the statement. “But you can be certain it will arrive. And thanks to our friends at Whole Foods Hyannis, we will be prepared to help get people off the streets, into an appropriate housing situation and connected to the right service providers.”
