Wawa to assemble 25,000 hoagies, give 15,000 away for free today. Here's how to get one.
Wawa workers will turn seven tons of ingredients into 25,000 Shorti hoagies on Wawa Hoagie Day Thursday, June 26. Wawa's free hoagie giveaway to charities and the public is back once again, with about 150 Wawa workers up bright and early to assemble the thousands of lunchmeat delivery vessels, wrap them and get them in the hands of thousands of hungry Philadelphians. Forty percent of the assembled sandwiches will go to charity, with 7,500 going to Philabundance and 2,500 split between the Police Athletic League and the Veterans Multi-Service Center. The remainder will be handed out to hoagie lovers who show up for the giveaway, free of charge. Workers start the assemblage at 5 a.m. and build at a rate of 5,000 hoagies an hour to be wrapped up by 10 a.m. These are all turkey hoagies, by the way. If you tune in on CBS News Philadelphia throughout the morning, you might see recently retired Eagle Brandon Graham, the Birds' mascot Swoop, or Wawa's Wally Goose and Shorti Hoagie mascots. Wawa had rescheduled other Wawa Welcome America events this week due to extreme heat, but thankfully, Thursday is a little cooler and this one is still on as scheduled. The Welcome America slate of events leads up to the July 4 fireworks and concert on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, with Jazmine Sullivan and LL Cool J headlining this year. How to get one of Wawa's 15,000 free hoagies today in Philadelphia Wawa's Hoagie Day celebration for the public kicks off at 12 p.m. on Arch Street and Independence Mall, between 5th and 6th streets in front of the National Constitution Center. With the supply limited, you might want to get there early if you can, then get in line. The noon event also includes a performance from the Six-String Soldiers. After you chow down, you can enjoy free admission to the NCC all day. contributed to this report.

The Thunder's victory is for every Oklahoman who's been underestimated
I live in Colorado currently. It's beautiful. There are mountains. The air is thin. The lattes and homes are wildly overpriced for a reason. And I can't tell you how many times someone has smirked at me after I say I'm from Oklahoma. Advertisement 'You don't seem like you're from Oklahoma,' they remark.'You're actually…smart!''Did you marry your cousin?''Do you even HAVE a Trader Joe's?' Oklahoma City guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (2) drives up court in the second quarter during game 7 of the NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, on Sunday, June 22, 2025. If I had a dollar for every time someone implied I was a backwoods idiot because I grew up in a state chock full of tornado drills and cattle crossings, I could've bought courtside Finals tickets and still had money left over to fix the roads. ( let's be real. Not enough to fix the roads.) So when the OKC Thunder won the NBA Finals last night, it wasn't a win only for the players. It was a beautiful, cathartic, deeply Okie-style moment of: Advertisement 'We may not be your coastal elite darlings, but we're here, we're loud, and we just beat every team out there.' Perhaps that's why last night, when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander cradled that hard-fought trophy, I wiped tears off my face and hoped my Colorado friends didn't notice. I felt so ridiculous. These players don't even know I exist. This wasn't my win. But maybe it was, just a little? This championship was for the underdogs The Thunder built their superstars. Brick by brick. Pick by pick (looking at you, Sam Presti), from a small market with a big heart and a budget that wouldn't cover half of LA's Botox. Advertisement And we fans have shown up in our boots and ball caps, not Balenciaga. We embody blue collar basketball. This wasn't Hollywood, this was the heartland. Along with all overlooked states between coasts (shout out to Indiana!), Oklahoma is the punchline until we're the headline. And now? Now, the national media is scrambling to pronounce 'Hartenstein' correctly and wondering how a ragtag bunch of 20-somethings from a flyover state just took the Finals in seven. We Okies have been called hicks, yokels, backwards Bible-thumpers, and uneducated nobodies. But what we are, always, is loyal. To our teams, to our people, to the land that raised us. Advertisement And when one of ours rises, we tend to rise with them. This one's for every Okie who's ever been laughed at To the ones who had to explain that we do have universities, and some of them are pretty dang good. To the ones who moved away and got tired of being someone's 'you're not like the rest of them' compliment. To the ones who speak with a drawl and still know more than the guy making fun of them. To the ones who grew up watching Durant leave, Russ get traded, and still vowed, 'Next year, we'll be back.' Well, we're back. I can speak for many Thunder fans when I say this isn't just a championship, it's a cultural touchstone. It's a moment in which much of the country is forced to stop pretending we're invisible. Advertisement More: Thunder-Pacers series a happy reminder that grass isn't always greener elsewhere | Opinion This win is so much bigger than basketball. It's about what happens when a place full of grit and generosity decides it's done being overlooked. It's about small towns watching the big city win year after year, and daring to hope that maybe ― just maybe ― the world is finally seeing what we've known all along: Oklahoma is full of magic. Teeming with heart. Hospitality. Hustle. And now, Oklahoma is full of champions, too. We aren't just flyover country anymore. We're parade route territory. And we're just getting started. Laura Albritton is a writer now living in Colorado who is originally from Oklahoma. Laura Albritton, Okie Writer/Poet.
