The not-for-profit Eden Autism Services is once again the recipient of Wawa’s Coin Canister campaign. From now until September 21, the convenience store chain has selected Eden to be one of the beneficiaries of its ongoing coin canister campaign in all of its New Jersey stores.
The proceeds from the canisters benefit the children, adults and families with autism whom Eden serves.
For more than three decades, Wawa has been one of the largest corporate supporters of Eden, contributing more than $3 million to support Eden’s mission of improving the lives of individuals with autism and their families. Since 2011, the canister campaign alone has raised more than $407,000 for Eden.
”We are so grateful for this wonderful, long-lasting relationship we have with Wawa and for the generosity of the many Wawa customers who contribute their spare change,” says Dr. Tom McCool, president & CEO of Eden Autism Services. “Organizations like Eden are greatly bolstered by outstanding corporate citizens such as Wawa.”
Programs supported by Wawa over the years include Eden’s early intervention program (Wawa House), summer program and adult employment program. This year’s coin canister proceeds will benefit Eden’s outreach department, helping to extend Eden’s services to even more children and adults with autism and their families.
