An annual effort to support children in the Wawa area this holiday season came to a close over the weekend.
Josee McCoy - manager of Wawa's Red Apple store - explains Saturday's "Fill a Sleigh Day" with local emergency services was the culmination of a multi-week toy drive.
Emphasizing the local police are happy to join in - as it's a "worthwhile cause", helping out families in need - Superior East OPP Constable Ashley Nickle says response to the event was "amazing".
Wawa Fire Department Deputy Chief Pierre Gauthier is appreciative of the support seen Saturday.
The firefighters were also out Sunday - with staff from St. Augustine French Immersion school - collecting food for the Christmas Hampers, which will be going out December 15th.
