Weis Markets and the Times Leader Media Group launched the “Year of Giving” program in 2019.
Each month, a different non-profit is highlighted and awarded $500 in funding.
Through a full page on the last Sunday of the month in the Times Leader, the community is educated on that non-profit and its upcoming events.
Weis Markets has long believed in giving back to the communities in which it serves, so the “Year of Giving” was a natural extension of their mission, which has continued in 2020 and 2021.
Past non-profit recipients have been: Family Service Association of NEPA, North Branch Land Trust, Big Brother Big Sisters, CASA of Luzerne County, Camp Freedom, Junior Achievement of NEPA, Blue Chip Animal Farm Refuge, American Heart Association, Habit for Humanity, Candy’s Place, McGlynn Center, and the Wilkes-Barre YMCA
