Fill a Glass with Hope Events Although milk is one of the most requested items at food banks, it’s rarely donated. We partner with the American Dairy Association North East, the PA Dairymen's Association and other partners to connect food banks with local milk suppliers. This ongoing initiative is called Fill a Glass With Hope, and there are several program events throughout the year. Program Details January Kickoff This press event takes place in the PA Farm Show food court at 11 a.m. the Friday before the opening day of the Pennsylvania Farm Show. The event draws a lively crowd of journalists, visitors, food bank partners, sponsors, and government officials. This gathering serves as the launchpad for a new year of fundraising, setting the stage for impactful work ahead. Get Details 5k Walk/Run The 5k Walk/Run is organized by the team behind the Pennsylvania Dairy Princess program. This annual event, which takes place in either April or May, is a great opportunity to support Fill a Glass with Hope! Every dollar raised goes directly to this vital cause, making your participation a meaningful way to give back to the community while burning a few calories. Get Details Dairy Month June 1 marks the start of Dairy Month, a time to celebrate Pennsylvania’s dairy industry and deliver nutritious dairy products to underserved Pennsylvanians. Each year, the kickoff event is hosted at a different Weis Markets location. This event launches Weis’s round-up at the register campaign, which allows customers to help provide fresh milk to local families.
