On August 13, our Utah associates returned to Wasatch Community Gardens for their 2026 Weidner Cares Day!
At the heart of Weidner Cares is a simple goal: to strengthen the communities we call home by supporting organizations that are making a difference. Weidner Cares is an annual event held in each of our regions where our teams partner with local nonprofits for an entire workday, donating their time and talents to create a lasting impact.
Wasatch Community Gardens was an easy partner for us to choose. Working throughout Salt Lake County, the organization connects people with healthy, organic, local food through community gardens, education, youth programs, job training, and other initiatives. While Weidner has partnered with Wasatch Community Gardens before, this year’s project brought an exciting new opportunity. The organization recently acquired a new farm property, and our Utah team was the first volunteer group to help transform the new space into a place where its work can take root.
Associates divided into three crews for the day. The House Crew tackled construction projects and painted the interiors. The Yard Crew cleared overgrown areas and completed gardening and outdoor improvements. Meanwhile, the Shed Remodel Crew got to work transforming the existing shed for its next purpose.
For our Utah associates, the day was about more than checking projects off a list. It was about helping to prepare a new community resource for the work that will take place there in the years ahead. By lending a hand at the property’s very beginning, our team helped lay the groundwork for a space that will support Wasatch Community Gardens’ mission and benefit the community long after Weidner Cares Day was over.
Thank you to Wasatch Community Gardens for welcoming our team back and giving us the chance to be part of this exciting new chapter. And thank you to every Utah associate who brought their time, energy, and Weidner spirit to the project!
We can’t wait to see what grows from here.
