GIVE BACK SHOWDOWN!

It is a great pleasure to announce that Crossover Video and Games will be holding a food drive starting on Friday, June 3rd and ending Friday, June 17th. The Marathon Food Bank is struggling financially and is calling on locals to lend their support. The Crossover food drive will be an opportunity for residents to give back to their community by donating a non perishable food item at Crossover. To make things more interesting, we will be competing against Fast Forward Movies and Games, a new business in Wawa, to see who can collect the most items for their respective food bank. So don’t forget to bring a food item into Crossover on your next visit- the Food Bank appreciates your support!

Have a safe week and don’t forget to support your local businesses!
