Time is running out for a Wawa tradition: the Christmas Hampers.
Christmas Hamper Fund President Richard Watson explains the hampers are a longtime tradition to support those in need within the community, whether they're seniors, families, or even those having a tough time with reduced work hours amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Watson emphasizes the committee wants applications by this evening - as there's a lot to compile, including what's needed due to dietary needs or particular ages - with applications available at Wawa's municipal office, with a drop box in the foyer.
While the charitable organization notes monetary donations would help them ensure all needs are covered, it welcomes other donations and volunteers to help out with sorting next month - those interested can contact Watson or another member of the committee.
The Bargain Shop in Wawa's currently holding its Toy Drive supporting the Hamper Fund - which culminates in a "Fill The Sleigh Day" event with local emergency services December 11th - while the Wawa Volunteer Fire Department and St. Augustine French Immersion staff will hold a food drive December 12th.
