News Tidbits – A huge thank you goes out to the Wawa Volunteer Fire Fighters who gave up their Sunday to walk the streets of Wawa and the Mission gathering food and toys for the Wawa Christmas Hamper. The generosity of residents meant that $1,127.30 in cash, approximately $2,000 in foods and approximately $500 in toys was collected.
