On August 25, our Edmonton associates came together for their 2026 Weidner Cares Day!
Weidner Cares is our annual company-wide initiative, held in each of our 17 regions, that brings associates together to volunteer with local nonprofits and make a lasting impact on their communities. This year, our Edmonton team spent the day supporting Edmonton’s Food Bank, an organization dedicated to helping ensure people throughout the community have access to food. Each month, Edmonton’s Food Bank provides approximately 500,000 meals and snacks to those in need.
Our team had the opportunity to work behind the scenes of this important operation, supporting the busy warehouse alongside Food Bank staff and fellow volunteers. Throughout the day, associates helped with a variety of essential tasks, including sorting and inspecting donated food, repackaging bulk items into family-sized portions, building food hampers, organizing food for distribution, and keeping the warehouse running smoothly.
Volunteer support is an essential part of Edmonton’s Food Bank operations. In 2025 alone, volunteers contributed more than 159,000 hours, and today, volunteers help build more than 43,000 food hampers each month. For our Edmonton associates, Weidner Cares Day was an opportunity to join that incredible effort. Every effort contributes to something much bigger: helping provide food and support to people in our community who need it most.
Thank you to Edmonton’s Food Bank for welcoming our team and for the meaningful work you do every day. And thank you to our Edmonton associates for giving their time, energy, and hearts to support their community.
Together, even the simplest tasks can make a meaningful difference!
