Wawa extends ‘Fly Beyond’ kids meal initiative through Sept. 1 to continue fighting food insecurity

With customer support, Wawa will continue to donate funds from Kids Meals to food bank partners for 5 extra weeks

Wawa has announced a 5-week extension of its “Buy a Kids Meal, Make an Impact,” initiative which was first launched March 4 through July 28.

The initiative is part of the convenience retailer’s Fly Beyond program which expands access to fresh and nutritious foods to underserved communities through local Feeding America Food Bank partners.

For every Kids Meals purchased, Wawa will donate funds to local food bank partners to provide meals to the community! Since its initial launch in March, Wawa has been able to contribute funding to support nearly 1 million meals to support kids who are food insecure this summer.

“Thanks to the support from our customers and the positive impact this program has had, Wawa is excited to extend our Kids Meal initiative through September 1, which means we’ll be able to provide more meals to support kids in our communities!” said Mary Rose Hannum, Vice President of Food and Beverage, Wawa. “We’re happy our Kids Meals not only help families with a quick and delicious meal option, but more important are helping others gain access to nutritious food too!”
