Weis Markets and Sioux Honey Co-op Partner for Large Honey Donation

Harrisburg Lancaster Lebanon York, PA, September 27, 2026 —

A significant donation of honey is set to benefit individuals and families served by the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. Weis Markets and Sioux Honey Co-op have partnered to provide nearly 5,000 pounds of honey.

The substantial contribution, amounting to approximately 5,000 pounds, is intended to support the food bank’s mission of alleviating hunger across its service area. Honey is a valuable source of natural sweetness and energy, and its inclusion in food bank offerings can provide an important nutritional boost.

The specifics regarding the exact date of the donation or the precise breakdown of the 5,000 pounds between the two donating entities were not immediately available. However, the joint effort underscores a commitment from both Weis Markets, a regional supermarket chain, and Sioux Honey Co-op, a cooperative of beekeepers, to address food insecurity within the communities they serve.

The Central Pennsylvania Food Bank operates a network of pantries and distribution sites to serve individuals and families in need. Donations such as this are crucial for maintaining adequate stock levels and providing a diverse range of food items to its clients. The food bank has not yet released details on how the donated honey will be distributed or to which specific partner agencies it will be allocated first.

This initiative highlights a collaborative approach between a large retailer and an agricultural cooperative, pooling resources to make a tangible impact on local hunger relief efforts. Further details on the impact of this donation are anticipated to be shared by the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank in the coming weeks as the honey is processed and distributed through its network.
