Twice per year we will donate 5% of one day’s sales to a great groups doing great things.
To directly give back to the community that supports our mission, values and the livelihoods of dozens of employees, 2 days per year we donate 5% of one day’s sales to a local, non-profit organization. Volunteers from these local non-profits join our staff members to help bag groceries, do carry-outs, and speak with customers about their organizations. These local non-profits spread the word to friends and neighbors about their 5% Day and invite them to support through their patronage. 5% days are a fantastic way to spread the word about your local non-profit and to fundraise in a friendly environment.
Starting in 2019 we have added Community Nights as another way to fundraise for your organization.
To be considered for this program you will need to show that you can generate at least 25 customers on the selected evening from 4pm to 9pm. Dawson's will donate 10% of the sales generated by your organizations participants. No solicitation is allowed in the store, all sales must come from organization participants who show a preapproved flyer.
If you would like your organization to be considered for donations please email us at info@dawsonsmarket.com with Donation in the subject line.
Here are some of our past 5% Day partners:
Community Ministries of Rockville

MISSION: Red Wiggler is a sustainable farm where people with and without developmental disabilities come together to work, learn, and grow healthy food.

VISION: Fallsmead Elementary School will be a safe and respectful learning community where students, teachers and parents challenge and inspire each other to do their very best in all areas.
The Fallsmead Elementary School staff shares the belief that we are charged with providing an environment that recognizes the individual needs of our children. We must nurture them and structure their education so that they will share a lifelong love of learning. This is best accomplished when school, staff, and parents work together to provide a variety of educational experiences that will enable all children to reach their maximum potential. Open communication between teachers, students, administrators, and parents is a critical component to the success of our program.
We are eager to integrate some of Fallsmead’s brand new technology into daily classroom instruction. Each classroom is now equipped with Promethean boards and LCD projectors. These technologies will not only motivate and engage learners, but will create a multi-sensory learning environment and increase the opportunities for teachers to provide differentiated instruction to address the learning styles of auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners. Our new technology also facilitates equitable classroom practices and encourages student-driven learning rather than teacher directed instruction.

FARE’s mission is to improve the quality of life and the health of individuals with food allergies, and to provide them hope through the promise of new treatments.

In 1950, the Montgomery County Board of Education recommended building another elementary school in the western section of Rockville to relieve overcrowding in Rockville, Potomac, and Gaithersburg. A site in the Hunting Hill area was selected and in 1953, construction began. The new school opened in August 1954 with Albert Gibson as the principal, but it wasn’t up until 1982 that it became Beall Elementary School.
