native sun GREENAPPLES MISSION

Our mission is to develop programs that will allow our employees and customers to work together to support people and organizations in our local community.

Native Sun was honored as one of Jacksonville Magazine's "Top 25 Companies That Care" for our dedication to giving back to the local community in 2009, 2010 & 2011. We couldn't have done it without you!

TREECYCLE REUSABLE BAG PROGRAM

Every time you use your Treecycle bag or ANY reusable grocery bag in-store, you will earn 5¢ per bag off your total purchase OR the chance to donate your 5¢ discount to Greenscape of Jacksonville. It’s your choice! How would you like to use your refund?

charity of the month program

Each month, Native Sun's GreenApples program selects a local charity in need and helps to raise awareness and collect funds through employee and customer programs.

If you know of a Jacksonville charity that you would like Native Sun's GreenApples program to support, send an email to greenapples@nativesunjax.com telling us why.

Please remember, that only 12 charities can be selected each year. If we are not able to work with you this year, hopefully we can work together in the next!

A GREENER GROCERY - OUR PROMISE TO YOU

Native Sun is always looking for ways to make your shopping experience “greener,” whether it’s switching to juice cups made from biodegradable non-GMO corn or stocking only biodegradable produce bags in our 100% organic produce department.
