The program has raised more than $5 million for local and regional hunger organizations.

Sunbury, PA (August 30, 2022) – Weis Markets today announced it has launched its annual Fight Hunger in-store donation program in support of regional food banks in its seven-state market area.

The program runs through the end of September. At checkout, customers can donate by rounding up their order to the nearest dollar or purchasing a $1, $3, $5, $8 or $10 voucher to help support families in need in their community. 

“The past year has seen another surge in food bank demand, which is once again at record levels. Our customers have been strong supporters of the local and regional food banks who work with thousands of our local food pantries, and we invite them to consider donating once again,” said Ron Bonacci, Weis Markets Vice President of Advertising and Marketing. “We’re in this together. As part of our program, we will continue to make corporate donations to our regional food bank partners.”

This is Weis Markets’ 15th annual Fight Hunger campaign, which has collectively raised more than $5 million in customer and company donations.

Weis Markets’ Fight Hunger campaign works with regional food banks throughout its seven-state market area, including The Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley and Northeast PA; The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank (Harrisburg and Williamsport, PA); Helping Harvest (Reading, PA); The Maryland Food Bank; The Commission on Economic Opportunity/The Weinberg Northeast Regional Food Bank (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, PA); Greater Berks Food Bank (Reading, PA); Philabundance (Montgomery and Bucks counties, PA); Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse (CHOW)/Broome County Council of Churches; Food Bank of the Southern Tier (Elmira, NY); Community Food Bank of New Jersey; Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank (VA); Food Bank of Delaware; and Mountaineer Food Bank (West Virginia).

These food banks help coordinate the program with local food pantries near each Weis store.
