Wawa residents are being thanked for supporting an annual tradition helping the needy in the community.
The Wawa Volunteer Fire Department and staff from St. Augustine French Immersion Catholic School held their annual Christmas Hamper Holiday Food Drive over the weekend, more than filling three half-ton trucks - or six pallettes - with non-perishable donations, and collecting a further $1925 in monetary donations.
That will be put toward the Wawa Christmas Hampers, which Hamper Fund President Richard Watson reminds offer a few items to brighten the season for the less fortunate in the community.
The hampers are set to go out next week.
