"What I loved most about being a Butcher was working with my hands, learning new ways to better my craft and meeting the Team Members in the department. There’s a lot to learn from everyone because there isn't a 'right way' to cut and present your case — everyone has their flair, and it’s cool to see. The Butcher Apprentice Program is challenging, but I had a great experience while doing it. Big shout-outs to Tyrell, Chip, Kiram, and Scott Cenna from the PLM Store for helping me along the way. They were a big asset in developing my skills as a Butcher. Without them, I wouldn’t be in the position I am today."

"I am really grateful I got to go through the motherhood journey with her. Jennifer is such a reliable and fun person to have on the team. I know she's already been here, but as a new mom and professional, I was terrified of how it would affect my work-life balance or the quality of work I put out. I was able to ask her weird pregnancy questions, go through similar symptoms, and confide in her when I felt overwhelmed working and being pregnant. It was comforting to know someone has been through it and is currently going through what I was experiencing. The cherry on top is our baby girls were born five days apart! It’s such a joy to be part of the Whole Foods family while starting my own. I felt supported every step of the way by my team and leader and felt their excitement for me during my pregnancy — they even threw us a surprise joint baby shower, which I totally held myself together through. We were always a close team but since Olivia was born, I feel like we have become more like family, and Olivia has bonus aunties and uncles who have her back." - Angel Ning, Principal Recruiter #NourishConnection #NourishPeople #TeamWFM

"For as long as I can remember, my mom and I have always shopped at Whole Foods Market. We're big proponents of conscious consumption, so Whole Foods' commitment to selling the highest quality natural and organic food makes our grocery trips a breeze. During 2021, when my classes were online, I applied for a seasonal part-time role as an in-store shopper. About three months into this position, I became an E-Commerce Supervisor, working at two of our Florida stores. ..." - Jessica Evesson, Wellness and Retreat Program Assistant

If our collaboration with the Women’s Lunch Place can make even one guest feel more inspired, I would consider the program a success. Together, we can strive to build a more equitable and supportive community, ensuring every woman has the opportunity to rebuild her life with dignity and resilience. Dignity is everything! I'm looking forward to having many more of these conversations." - Kristi Senat, Whole Body Team Leader, CDATL & CDTL Graduate 💚💚💚 In early March, a group of passionate Team Members from our Symphony store in Boston, MA, organized and conducted mock interviews for the guests of the Women's Lunch Place, a local day shelter providing services for women in the area. These recurring sessions include interview training and resume workshopping and will foster relationships with guests so they can reenter the workforce confidently.

"I did not get the first role I applied for at Whole Foods Market. I walked into our Hawaii Queens location to become a Grocery Team Member but was not selected. A few weeks later, I returned to the same location to find an ongoing job fair (door closed, window opened 🎉). I applied and was offered a Floater Position on the spot. On my first day in the store, I remember calling my mom, telling her 'I think I’ve found where I am meant to be'. While working as a Floater, I got to work in all our store departments: I learned about our quality standards within the Meat and Seafood departments, floated around Whole Body, finding so many items I never knew existed and developed a new appreciation for how our kitchens operate and produce food working in our Prepared Foods. As I honed my grocery experience, I discovered a culture that aligns with many of my values. The various programs we offer to help our Team Members and our local communities warm my heart. Ultimately, I fell in love with Produce and worked there as a Team Member and then Supervisor for a little over a year and a half. Each year, I fall more in love with Whole Foods. I have learned so much from some of the most talented people I know, the 'why' behind our company values and how to add more good into the world. These last five years have been a journey, with every new challenge providing a well-earned lesson or reward. Here's to 5+ years!" - Rowan McGrath, TMS Operations Analyst #HR #NourishPeople #TeamWFM

A new store is coming to St. Petersburg, FL, and I am incredibly fortunate to be opening my third store with Whole Foods. I am not only excited to open the store but to open it alongside a great group of folks who will be taking on this new challenge with me. As a Store Team Leader, I strive to positively influence the lives of those I work with each day so that together, we can improve the lives of our local communities. It's this purpose-driven aspect of our company that makes me proud to put on my apron. We're designed as a simple grocery store, but our collective efforts help countless people nourish themselves in the best possible ways. Our higher purpose and foundations are inspiring and make our jobs much more than selling groceries. The Tampa Bay Area has always been near and dear to my heart, and I can't wait to bring this long-awaited store to the St. Pete Area. I look forward to the positive impact it will add to the prosperity of our town.” Mario Torres, Store Team Leader #TampaBay #NourishPeople #NourishGrowth #TeamWFM
