The North Carolina and South Carolina teams spent their 2026 Weidner Cares community service day volunteering at Sterling Elementary School in Pineville, NC.
Weidner Cares is our annual company-wide philanthropic program, hosted in each region, where we close our doors for an entire workday to give back to the communities in which we live and work. With our team’s unique tools, talents, and skills, we can make entire transformations for nonprofit or community-oriented spaces in just one day!
Our mission at Sterling Elementary was to help prepare the campus for another successful school year, and from the moment volunteers arrived, they got to work creating spaces where students and teachers would feel welcomed, supported, and inspired.
Throughout the day, teams worked across the campus, completing improvements that touched nearly every part of the school. Volunteers refreshed the teachers' lounge with new paint and updates, restored the outdoor classroom and community garden, repaired benches and planter boxes, completed landscaping enhancements, cleaned outdoor gathering spaces, and enhanced playground areas used daily by students.
Not every contribution involved paint or power tools. Several volunteers spent time creating colorful, handwritten encouragement cards, leaving uplifting messages for students as they begin the new school year. These small gestures remind students that an entire community is cheering them on.
The day showcased what Weidner Cares is all about: coming together, sharing our talents, and investing in the communities where we live and work.
Thank you to every associate who volunteered their time, energy, and heart to help make Sterling Elementary School an even better place for students, teachers, and families.
