Since the early days of driving out to local neighborhoods to deliver farm-fresh milk and ice cream, Oberweis knows that something as simple as a friendly smile can make a huge difference in the community. Oberweis' tradition of giving back has grown and expanded its community outreach efforts with charitable donation, community event, fundraising, and sponsorship opportunities.
Our mission is simple. We strive every day to provide our customers with new ways to make life a little easier, such as skipping their weekly trip to the grocery store by delivering premium, hand-selected groceries on their doorstep. And to make life a lot more delicious by providing families everywhere with superior-tasting milk and ice cream that has been sincerely cared for in every possible way.
The commitment to be the best for your family drives every decision we make because we want the best for our family and community, too.
Throughout the year we are proud to hold in-house employee events to raise money for local food pantries such as Greater Chicago Food Depository, non-profit businesses like Hessed House: the second-largest homeless shelter in the State of Illinois, and even for Oberweis team members experiencing times of hardship
We love collaborating with local organizations to spread happiness throughout the community! From Charitable Donations to Community Events, to Fundraising Opportunities and Sponsorships, there are so many ways we can help you serve up a little happiness. Kindly reach out with inquiries at least 60 days in advance of your event. Oberweis receives many requests each day so applying early will allow plenty of lead time for us to respond.
