Wawa, NBC 10 and the American Red Cross Partner with Neighbors to Help Victims of Hurricane Katrina Starting Friday, Wawa to Accept Donations at All Stores; Company Will Match First $50,000 Raised

As reported today on C-Span television Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush, Sr. have started a recovery fund to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. However, it may be easier to donate using the Wawa coupons. In addition Wawa will match your donation. There are three coupons available in $1. $2. and $5. denominations. It's not much to us to donate one dollar. If every resident in Winslow Township donated one dollar, Winslow residents could stand proud knowing they raised in excess of $34,611. Plus Wawa's match for a grand total of $69,222. Americans within a days drive of Winslow Township are without their homes, belongings, and most are without employment when they need it the most. Large American corporations are helping. Foreign countries around the world are sending aid. Countries that the United States is normally the aid provider to, not the recipient of aid are helping. Please consider helping our fellow Americans by going to Wawa and making a one dollar (or more if you can) donation.
