Cinnaminson MedExpress Participates In Crossroads Program Gift Drive

It was one of 16 locations that collected gifts this holiday season.

CINNAMINSON, NJ — The Cinnaminson MedExpress location was one of 16 MedExpress locations in the state that participated in the Crossroads Programs’ gift drive this past holiday season. Last year, just seven locations from South Jersey participated in the drive.

“We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to partner with MedExpress for another year of bringing holiday magic and happiness to those who are in need,” Crossroads Programs CEO Michael Snyder said. “The way we have seen communities come together and donate hundreds of gifts is outstanding. It is crucial this time of year to really reach out to the youth that are less fortunate and make sure their holiday season is filled with as much joy as possible.”

The Crossroads and MedExpress are both dedicated to helping benefit their communities.

“The partnership has made it possible for children and teens to have a holiday filled with happiness and a variety of gifts they would not have received without the generosity of MedExpress and its local communities,” Snyder said.

“It’s amazing to have been a part of such a wonderful cause for the second year in a row. MedExpress strives to help those not only with health concerns, but also those who are struggling with life’s many obstacles,” MedExpress Field Marketing Coordinator Brandon Peña said. “The impressive outpouring of donations and passion from the community will never stop surprising me. I would like to thank Crossroads for another very successful year and all who have donated gifts to any of the 16 MedExpress locations. Your kind actions have made the world of a difference to so many.”
