Weingartz Partners with Gleaners Food Bank to Amplify Donations Until October 14
As part of an innovative fundraising initiative, Weingartz, a leading provider of outdoor power equipment, has joined forces with Gleaners Community Food Bank to tackle child hunger in Metro Detroit. This partnership, effective immediately and running until October 14, presents an extraordinary opportunity for donors to maximize their contributions as every dollar given will be matched, up to a total of one million meals.
In a remarkable effort to combat food insecurity, Weingartz is not just doubling the impact of contributions; they are quadrupling it. Typically, a single dollar donated to Gleaners equates to three meals provided for families in need. However, during this limited-time campaign, that same dollar will now supply six meals, placing additional resources directly into the hands of vulnerable individuals and families.
Kristin Sokul, a representative from Gleaners, emphasized the urgent need for such initiatives in the community, particularly amidst ongoing economic challenges that have left many families struggling to make ends meet. “The funds raised through this partnership will make an immediate and significant impact on our ability to serve the community effectively,” she noted. “We are incredibly grateful for the generous matching initiative from Weingartz, as it allows us to provide vital support to those who need it most.”
Meanwhile, Peyton Weingartz expressed how essential it is to give back to the local community and emphasized their commitment to alleviating child hunger in the region. “We understand the importance of supporting our local communities. This initiative not only empowers families but also helps raise awareness about food insecurity in our neighborhoods,” he stated.

This initiative not only highlights the power of community collaboration but also serves as a reminder of the impact that collective efforts can have in addressing systemic challenges like hunger.
