To celebrate the first Sprouts in the state, the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation will donate $2,500 to TasteWise Kids, a non-profit organization that empowers Baltimore-area students to think about food from its source to the plate through hands-on, educational programs.
Shoppers will enjoy locally made products throughout the store from Maryland-based companies, including Wild Kombucha, Ever Bar, Hale’s Homemade Salsa, Lord Byron’s Honey and B’More Organic.
As part of Sprouts’ commitment to “zero waste,” the new Ellicott City Sprouts will donate unsold and edible groceries to Maryland Food Bank through the grocer’s Food Rescue program. In 2017, Sprouts stores and distribution centers donated 23 million pounds of product, equivalent to 19 million meals. Food that is not fit for donation is provided to local cattle farms and composting facilities. Sprouts’ evolving “zero waste” initiatives help minimize food waste while reducing the impact of hunger and the company’s environmental footprint.
