Weis hosts program to fight hunger

Weis Markets announced its 12th annual Fight Hunger Program which will run throughout Hunger Action Month in September.

The program provides food and monetary donations to more than 150 local food banks and emergency food providers across seven states in Weis Markets’ 198-store service area. Since the program’s inception in 2008, Weis has worked with customers to raise more than $2.5 million for hunger relief organizations.

Through Oct. 2, customers are encouraged to visit their local Weis Markets and consider making small donations of $1, $3, $5 or $10 vouchers at checkout to help support families in need in the community. They can also choose to round up their grocery order to the nearest dollar. Customers can donate shelf stable items such as canned goods, pasta, peanut butter, apple sauce or soup by simply adding these items to their cart throughout their trip and then placing them in a donation bin at checkout. Donations will also be accepted online at WeisMarkets.com/Fight-Hunger.

Weis Markets’ Fight Hunger Campaign benefits local food banks and pantries throughout the seven-state market area. Regional food banks, which help coordinate local pickups, also participate in the program.
