Wawa's Gear For Ukraine Campaign Marks Milestone in Invasion

A Wawa resident's renewing calls to support Ukrainians as we mark a year into the devastating invasion by Russia.

"Gear for Ukraine" organizer Jana Strouhalova says she's reached out to the Municipality of Wawa, MPP Michael Mantha, MP Carol Hughes, and local mines to support her clothing donation drive.

Strouhalova notes two packages have already gone out, meant for smaller rural communities where there may not be running water, emphasizing the effect it has.

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.
