While our product assortment has evolved over the years, our commitment to the customer experience has always remained at the core of our business."

“At Whole Earth, we pride ourselves on offering something for every budget, from $5 stocking stuffers to higher-end items like Pendleton robes and Yeti coolers,” Wells said. “Whether you're looking for affordable gifts like teacher presents and plush toys, or mid-range footwear and accessories, we’ve got a great selection to suit every need and budget.

13th annual toy drive

Whole Earth Provision Co. is about more than just shopping—it’s about giving back to the community, especially during the holiday season. This year, the company is hosting its 13th annual toy drive to benefit children and families in need. From Nov. 14-Dec. 8, customers can purchase and donate new, unused toys at any of Whole Earth’s Texas locations.

“We’re thrilled to partner with local organizations that provide support for families in need,” Wells said. "For every toy valued at $10 or more that customers donate, they’ll receive a $5 Whole Earth gift certificate as a thank you for helping us spread some holiday cheer. And the best part is, you can donate as many toys as you’d like—each $10 donation earns you a $5 gift certificate, so the more you give, the more you receive."

For customers who are unsure of what to donate, the store offers a great selection of toys that are perfect for children of all ages. From cuddly stuffed animals to educational games and puzzles, there are many items that make thoughtful gifts and are sure to bring smiles to the faces of children who might otherwise go without.

“Even small donations can make a big difference, and for many families, these toys may be the only gifts their children will receive this holiday season. It’s incredibly meaningful to know that, together with our customers, we’re making a positive impact and spreading holiday cheer,” Wells said. “We’re incredibly grateful to our loyal customers for their continued support. Their trust allows us to do what we love—serve our community and offer a personal, memorable shopping experience.”
