Sunbury, Pennsylvania-based Weis Markets has donated $450,000 to Paralyzed Veterans of America – the nation’s only nonprofit organization dedicated solely to supporting veterans with spinal cord injuries, disorders and diseases, like MS and ALS, and all people with disabilities. Officials from Weis Markets presented the check to PVA on Nov. 12 at the company’s Perry Hall, Maryland, store.
