Together Let's Scare Hunger Campaign Donates to Wawa Food Bank

Wawa's food bank is thanking the local Ford dealership and the community for their support in a recent campaign.

Danette Mathias of Northern Lights Ford explains the October-long "Together Let's Scare Hunger" campaign was "very, very successful".

Mathias touts the support of the entire community for making the initiative such a success - especially given the current cost of groceries - thanking everyone who stepped up and helped out.

Wawa Community Food Bank Coordinator Margaret Chapman says they're "absolutely overwhelmed" by the donations, with many organizations to be thanked specifically later.

Chapman notes food bank use greatly increased amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and - while it is down somewhat - need is still high.
