On August 19, two Weidner teams came together for one incredible day of service!
Our Home Office and Washington Regional teams joined forces for their 2026 Weidner Cares Day to partner with SAFE (Save a Forgotten Equine), an organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding homes for horses in need.
Our annual Weidner Cares Day is a special opportunity for each Weidner region to work with a meaningful local charity and give back to the communities we operate in. This event is held in every Weidner region, where we close our doors and step away from our usual routines to serve others for an entire workday.
The timing of this year's partnership was especially meaningful. SAFE recently moved to a new property, creating an exciting opportunity for our associates to help prepare the site as the organization begins its next chapter. With a large property and plenty of projects to tackle, associates spread out across the property and got to work.
Teams improved barns and horse stalls, restored fencing, built and maintained shelters, painted buildings, cleared vegetation, organized storage areas, reinforced drainage, restored equipment, and completed landscaping and other property improvements.
Many of these projects will directly support SAFE's horses' day-to-day care. Improvements to stalls, shelters, fencing, wash areas, storage spaces, and other areas will help SAFE create a safe, functional environment for the animals and the people who care for them. What made the day even more special was seeing over 300 Weidner associates working side by side. With so many projects underway at once, every volunteer played an important role in advancing the property.
For SAFE, this property represents a new beginning. We're grateful that Weidner Cares could help transform their new space into a place where horses can heal, receive the care they need, and prepare for their next chapter. Thank you to SAFE for welcoming us, and thank you to every Weidner team member who brought their all to this incredible day of service. Here's to new beginnings for SAFE, for the horses they rescue, and for the lives they change every day!
