Wawa Resident Collecting Clothing Donations for Ukraine

A Wawa resident's encouraging clothing donations to support Ukrainians nearly a year into the devastating invasion by Russia.

While Jana Strouhalova says she'd been showing support for Ukraine since last February's invasion, she recently figured out a way to do more.

Strouhalova says she's since connected a UK-based group called "Vans Without Borders", which will bring the donations to the frontlines, while the community's already come out by donating clothing.

While the initial focus was hats and mitts, Strouhalova says they're particularly in need of underwear and socks - for kids and adults - with donation boxes at the Thrift Barn and Circle K.

Though a deadline of March 15th has been given, Strouhalova says there isn't really a deadline, except once Russia leaves Ukraine.
