We’re strong believers in giving back to the communities we serve. Each year, Weis Markets and it's associates make direct and in-kind donations to numerous charities and organizations throughout our market area, including food banks, community-based health care organizations, schools, pet shelters, the United Way, and many other local charities.
We’re proud of our associates who help make our giving possible. Thanks to them, we’re making a difference.
