United Markets Nickel Jar

Shop, Save the Planet, and Support ExtraFood with United Markets!

At ExtraFood, we believe that small actions can create a big impact—whether it's rescuing fresh food to fight hunger, reducing food waste, or making sustainable choices to protect our planet. This April, you have a simple way to do all three, thanks to our generous partner, United Markets!

How It Works:
Every time you shop at United Markets with a reusable bag in April, they’ll donate a nickel per bag to ExtraFood. That means your everyday grocery run can help provide fresh, nutritious food to people facing food insecurity in our community.

Why It Matters:

  • Saves Resources – Using reusable bags reduces plastic waste, keeping our environment cleaner.
  • Supports Neighbors in Need – Your nickels add up to real meals for individuals and families struggling with hunger.
  • Strengthens Our Community – By choosing sustainability and generosity, you’re making Marin a better place for all. 


So this April, bring your reusable bags, shop at United Markets, and help fight hunger with every trip to the store! Every nickel makes a difference!

Want to do even more? Spread the word, invite your friends to participate, or make a direct donation to ExtraFood at ExtraFood.org. Together, we’re building a stronger, more food-secure community—one bag at a time!

Now that's what we call positive change.
