Inscription.
For 40+ years, Wawa has proudly supported employment programs for those with intellectual disabilities. That support now includes Popcorn for the People, which was established in 2014 to create career opportunities for the autistic & disabled community. Wawa is proud to "connect the good" by providing a dedicated space for Popcorn for the People to make even more delicious popcorn while also educating and inspiring the community.

This is made possible through our partnership with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Eagles Autism Foundation and their commitment to creating opportunities for all abilities - where everyone can make a difference.

We are proud to work together to help people soar!
