Wawa, Inc. and The Wawa Foundation have launched an in-store crisis campaign to provide disaster relief assistance to communities affected by Hurricane Ian. The Wawa Foundation will match the first $250,000 in customer donations.
The campaign is running now through Sunday, October 16th in all of Wawa's more than 970 stores throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and Washington, D.C. The campaign is in partnership with the American Red Cross, and allows customers to contribute to Hurricane Ian disaster relief by adding $1, $3, or $5 to their Wawa purchase at checkout.
These funds will be donated to the Red Cross specifically for Hurricane Ian disaster relief efforts, and will be used to help the Red Cross provide immediate support to communities effected by Hurricane Ian.
“All of us at Wawa are committed to helping our Florida friends and neighbors during this time of need. Wawa has been in Florida for 10 years now and, as a member of this community, we are taking a number of steps to help with storm recovery efforts,” said Chris Gheysens, Wawa’s CEO.
“The Wawa Foundation has always had a strong commitment to providing crisis response and assisting those in need, and we’ve been partnering with the American Red Cross in these kinds of efforts for decades. We are proud to match customer donations up to $250,000 to show our dedication to, and support for, this critical need,” said Jay Culotta, President of The Wawa Foundation.
