Giving Back
Giving Back, Nourishing Our Community
Rosemont Market & Bakery’s charitable giving program supports local nonprofits that help provide nourishing food to children and families facing food insecurity. We do this by redirecting surplus products from our kitchen and markets to trusted community partners who put good food directly into the hands of neighbors in need. This effort not only helps feed our community but also reduces food waste across our stores.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of our charitable giving community partners, Good Shepherd Food Bank & The Locker Project, which make this mission possible.
Community-Funded Initiatives
Because we’re all in this together, we created our Community Funded Initiatives to give Rosemont customers regular ways to help support our mission and our community.
One of our longest-running initiatives is our Rosemont-made Peanut Noodles. For every container sold, we donate $1 to FEED Kids, a program of Full Plates Full Potential. Since 2018, every customer who’s picked up our Sesame Noodles has helped make this impact possible:
2021: $4,442
2022: $5,448
2023: $4,525
When you pick up a 10-pack of our cookies, you’re helping us give back to local organizations.
For every bag of chocolate chip or spice cookies, we donate 5% to The Locker Project, helping fight food insecurity for local kids and families.
