Wawa Brings 'Taste of Home' to Troops

Wawa associates teamed up with the USO recently to give troops a little taste of home.

Wawa associates teamed up with theΒ USO of Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey (Liberty USO) recentlyΒ to give oversea troops a little taste of home by assembling care packages filled with Wawa coffee, candy and other local foodsΒ and letters of support from the community.

The care packages were then taken toΒ Horsham Air Station where they will be added to larger packages and shipped to deployed militaryβ€”primarily made up of units from Pennsylvania and New Jerseyβ€”who are currently serving in Afghanistan and Kuwait.

The Wawa Taste of Home care packages are part of a larger care package shipment called Operation Stocking Stuffer, an initiative organized byΒ Liberty USO.
