Wild Oats Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: OATS), a leading national natural
and organic foods retailer, announced today the Company and its
customers donated $500,000 worth of food and money during the 2006
holiday season. The food donation was made possible through the
Wild Oats� Grab �n� Give/Bag Hunger program, in which grocery bags
were filled with non-perishable staple food items and were
available for purchase by Wild Oats customers. More than 28,000
Wild Oats Grab �n� Give grocery bags were purchased by customers
and then donated to an organization of the customers� choice or
were dropped off at food bank collection bins at Wild Oats stores
across the country. Wild Oats provided the food in the bags at
cost, thereby donating any profits the Company would have made on
the sale of those food items. Wild Oats also donated more than
$97,000 to local anti-hunger groups and worldwide hunger programs
through the Food for All program, a point-of-purchase fundraiser
that ran in all stores throughout the holiday season. Customers
donated money at the cash registers using tear-off coupons in
denominations of $1, $3 and $5. Both donation programs took place
at all Wild Oats, Henry�s Farmers Market and Sun Harvest stores and
ran from Nov. 15 through Dec. 31, 2006. About Food for All Food for
All is a non-profit fundraising organization dedicated to stopping
the hunger crisis on both national and international fronts. Food
for All supports international self-help programming as well as
national and local food banks, food rescue organizations and
health-promotion programs. The Food for All program is unique
because it gives retailers the opportunity to decide what type of
hunger organizations they want to support through their
point-of-purchase programs. Learn more at www.foodforall.org. About
