Wawa's getting nearly $25,000 to foster stranger connections between seniors and younger generations.
The Municipality of Wawa says it has been awarded a Seniors Community Grant of $24,995 to support the Wawa Intergenerational Legacy Project, which is designed to bring seniors and youth together "through knowledge-sharing activities and storytelling, celebrating the rich history and contributions of Wawa's older residents" - it's expected to "promote community engagement, reduce social isolation among seniors, and preserve local heritage for future generations".
