Toy & Food Drives for Wawa Christmas Hamper Fund This Weekend

Wawa's emergency services and others will be out in the community this weekend, to raise support for an annual tradition helping the needy in the community.

Fire Chief Kevin Sabourin explains the firefighters are participating in the annual "Fill A Sleigh Day" tomorrow, supporting the Christmas Hamper Fund.

Sabourin notes the firefighters are also involved in a food drive on Sunday.

The Christmas Hampers - a service provided in the community for over 60 years - offer the less fortunate "all the fixings for a Christmas dinner", presents for kids, and a little more - and Hamper Fund President Richard Watson notes the group welcomes volunteers to help with set up and sorting at the Community Centre on Sunday.

The "Fill A Sleigh" event runs from 11 am to 2 pm tomorrow, with the food drive from 10 am to 1 pm Sunday.
