Yes, LivingWell is owned by the Potomac Conference of Seventh-Day Adventists, and all of our staff are Adventists. For many years, LivingWell was known as the Potomac Adventist Book and Health Food Store. We changed our name to LivingWell, partly because we wanted to describe what we hope happens in our customers’ lives – we hope you’re living well! We also wanted to clear up a misimpression – that only Adventists were allowed to shop here. We specialize in many Adventist products, including a wide variety of books published by Adventist authors and veggie-meat brands produced by Adventist companies. However, we also sell books by many other publishers, we carry products that serve churches of other denominations, plus sell veggie-meats and other specialty foods that are produced by secular companies. LivingWell hopes that everyone - Adventist or non-Adventist - enjoys shopping here and finds healthful products that make their lives better. We want to help people keep “LivingWell.”

Anyone can place a LivingWell Delivers order! We use churches as an easily accessible delivery point, but you don't have to be a member of that church--or any church--to have an order sent there. The only requirement is that you be able to pick up your order at the nearest church delivery point during the scheduled time.

Unfortunately, any orders that are not picked up within the scheduled time frame at each church will be brought back to LivingWell. At that point, customers are responsible for paying for shipping to have their order mailed to them. For liability purposes, we are unable to leave any packages unattended at drop-off points. If you miss your pick up time, you do have the option of driving to the next church on the route to pick up there instead.
