Philadelphia celebrated its annual Wawa Hoagie Day on June 27, 2024, distributing 25,000 free turkey hoagies, amounting to seven tons of sandwiches. The event, part of the Wawa Welcome America festival, saw hundreds of Wawa employees starting at 4:30 a.m. to hand-assemble the hoagies at the National Constitution Center. Of the total hoagies, 10,000 were donated to local charities such as Philabundance, the Police Athletic League, and the Veterans Multi-Service Center, while 15,000 were given out to the public on a first-come, first-serve basis. Participants enjoyed performances by Voices of Service and received free admission to the National Constitution Center. The tradition, started in 1992 by then-Mayor Ed Rendell, continues to honor local heroes and support the community.
