Foods Co. Community Rewards Program
Here at the Dunes Center, we understand that it is not always easy to give to the organizations we'd like to. We've found a way for our supporters to give monetarily, simply by doing what they do every week, shop!

The Dunes Center is a member of the Foods Co. Community Rewards Program. Now you can donate to the Dunes Center every time you shop or buy gas at a Foods Co. store or gas station.

How does it work? Participants will donate from 1-4% of their purchase by shopping at Foods Co. stores after registering their Foods Co. Rewards Card. Your Rewards Card may be picked up at the Dunes Center at 1055 Guadalupe Street in Guadalupe. Next, download the Community Rewards Program Instruction sheet, print the instruction sheet out, and bring it and your rewards card on your next grocery trip to Foods Co. Within 72 hours you will begin giving a percentage of each shopping trip to the Dunes Center. If you would like the Dunes Center to mail you the Foods Co. Rewards Card and instruction sheet, please email or call us at (805) 343-2455. Visit the Foods Co. website for more information about your participation in this program.

Local Foods Co. Stores include 1465 S. Broadway in Santa Maria, and 601 W. Central Ave. in Lompoc. To find a Foods Co. store in your community visit the Foods Co. store locator. Some Food 4 Less stores in Southern California are included in this program, check the store locator for participating Food 4 Less stores.
