Red Cross Month

Every eight minutes, the American Red Cross brings help and hope to people in need, thanks to heroes like you. Whether you donate funds, donate blood or volunteer, we depend on your support to make a difference in communities across the country.

Each year, the president of the United States proclaims March "Red Cross Month.” We use this month as a chance to honor and celebrate the everyday heroes who help us fulfill our mission. This March, we encourage you to uncover your inner hero. Choose one or more of the options below. Be a hero today!

Our Red Cross Month Corporate Supporter

At Wawa, we are very proud of the partnership we have with the American Red Cross. Our commitment to supporting the critical work of the Red Cross has spanned more than 20 years and has included blood drives, in-store fundraising, financial grants, events and in-kind donations. From raising and providing funds for disaster relief to staffing blood drives with Wawa volunteers, to partnering with the Red Cross and local Fire Departments on Sound the Alarm Events. The Wawa family works to make this meaningful collaboration stronger each year. And, from February 24 through April 12, Wawa and The Wawa Foundation will be dedicating a portion of in-store charity collections to the Red Cross, during which time the Red Cross will be featured on Wawa coffee clutches. At Wawa, we play many important roles in our communities, and our partnership with the Red Cross is one of the critical ways in which we connect at a deeper level with our customers and with the communities that we serve.
