Weigel’s Donates 60,000 Gallons of Milk to Second Harvest Food Bank in Tennessee
Amid the global pandemic crisis and local impact felt by many East Tennesseans, Weigel’s Convenience Stores announced it will partner with Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee to distribute 60,000 gallons of milk to those in need. The announcement was made today via a press conference held at Weigel’s Corporate office in Powell.
“We feel compelled to help our neighbors during this global yet local crisis” said Bill Weigel, Chairman for Weigel’s. “We’re in the food business. Many of our neighbors have lost their jobs and are struggling to put food on their tables, so it seemed natural we could contribute in this way.”
