From health and wellness support to helping address food insecurity, the work nonprofit organizations do in our communities is invaluable. In recognition of Jewish American Heritage Month, we want to thank the organizations that not only support the Jewish community, but also serve anyone looking for connection, care, and community.
Across the company, Wegmans supports Jewish Community Centers and Jewish Family Service organizations (sometimes known locally as Jewish Family & Children’s Service). These organizations share our commitment to health, wellness, education, and helping those facing food insecurity.
Partnerships with these organizations help us have a greater impact on each community we serve. Our local nonprofit partners understand the unique needs in their neighborhoods and help identify the best ways to respond, providing support for people through trusted programs and welcoming spaces.
How we support communities, together
While every community is different, our approach is consistent: we build relationships locally, listen, and look for ways to help. Support may include funding for core services, in-kind product donations for community programs and events, and collaboration that helps make programs more accessible to more people.
- Food and basic needs support: food pantries, emergency assistance, and seasonal support for families and older adults.
- Health and wellness: wellbeing programs, caregiver resources, and referrals to community supports.
- Education and connection: youth and family programming, cultural learning, and gathering spaces that strengthen belonging.
Jewish Community Centers are often gathering places where families connect through programs for children and teens, wellness activities, and cultural events. Supporting JCC partners helps strengthen welcoming spaces that bring people together and build community across generations.
Moving forward with gratitude
As we recognize Jewish American Heritage Month, we celebrate the people, traditions, and contributions that strengthen our communities—and we’re grateful for the partners who help make connection and support possible every day. Together, we can continue to expand access to resources, create welcoming spaces, and make a difference in every community we serve.
