Wegmans shoppers can support their community at the cash register

March 26, 2025:

United Way of the Southern Tier and Wegmans have teamed up again to make giving easy.

Wegmans shoppers in Corning, Elmira, and Hornell can donate to United Way at any register. Shoppers can choose to donate $2, $3, or $5, round up their purchase to the nearest dollar, or give any other amount.

“Small donations add up to a big impact in our community,” said United Way of the Southern Tier President Maleaha Smith. “A $3 gift provides a book for a child. A $5 gift means a senior citizen will have a nutritious meal. Every time you give, you make a difference.”

All donations from the Wegmans check-out fundraiser will be directed to United Way of the Southern Tier’s Game Changer Fund, which supports programs for children, senior citizens, and people facing crisis or natural disaster in Chemung and Steuben counties.

The Wegmans fundraiser ends on April 26.
