Committed to Community

Community involvement isn’t a program at Bernick’s – it’s part of who we are. For generations, our family-owned company has invested time, resources, and support into the towns and neighborhoods we serve. From youth programs and wellness initiatives to grants, scholarships, and local partnerships, we believe communities thrive when businesses show up for them.

Strengthening Communities, One Partnership at a Time

At Bernick’s, being involved in the community is more than writing checks or being named as the sponsor of an event – it’s about forming meaningful partnerships.  Whether we’re volunteering, funding projects, or championing local events, we’re committed to helping our people grow, connect, and feel supported.

We work closely with organizations, schools, nonprofits, and local leaders to make sure our impact supports what matters most to the people who live here.

Our community focus areas include:

  • Health, wellness & youth development
  • Education through grants & scholarships
  • Local events and nonprofit partnerships
  • Charitable giving & donation programs
  • Fitness initiatives that bring people together
  • Volunteer support & employee engagement
