On September 15, our North Dakota region hosted their 2026 Weidner Cares Day by partnering with ARRR Rescue and Retirement Ranch in Williston. ARRR’s mission is to provide a safe, permanent home for farm animals in need, including those rescued from neglect, abuse, and abandonment. The ranch also helps connect people with these animals through opportunities to visit, interact, and learn about farm animals.
Supporting organizations like ARRR is at the heart of Weidner Cares, our annual company-wide philanthropic program held in each of our regions. Each year, we close our doors for a full workday so associates can dedicate their time and talents to giving back to the communities where we live and work. By putting our teams’ skills and experience to work, we can make meaningful improvements for nonprofit and community-focused organizations in just one day.
Throughout the day, our associates spread out across the ranch to tackle a variety of projects. One team dismantled and reassembled a cat-io while improving its fencing to create a more secure outdoor space for the ranch’s cats. Another team gave the pig barn a fresh coat of exterior paint, while other associates worked in the cat shop and mezzanine and helped with cleanup and organization throughout the property.
The day also gave our associates an opportunity to put the skills they use every day at Weidner to work in a new setting. From construction and fencing to painting, organizing, and general property improvements, each project helped create more functional and welcoming spaces for the animals and the people who care for them.
Thank you to ARRR Rescue and Retirement Ranch for welcoming our team and allowing us to support the important work you do. And thank you to every North Dakota associate who brought their time, skills, energy, and Weidner spirit to the project.
