Typically, non-profits are the ones being thanked, but earlier this spring, it was Crossroads Programs, a non-profit based in Willingboro, that was doing the thanking.

At its First Annual Thank You Celebration, Crossroads Programs invited donors, members of the Board of Directors, senior management, and staff to commend the volunteers and supporters who make Crossroads a successful organization in helping at-risk youth throughout the state.

One of those thanked was Mt. Laurel resident Michelle Serio for her role in collecting holiday gift donations for Crossroads’ youth each year.

In addition to their time and financial support, those honored have given clothing, gifts, and other general donations to support Crossroads.

Crossroads Programs was founded in 1978, through a collaboration of interfaith community leaders committed to providing shelter to runaway and homeless youth. Since that time, the agency has developed considerable expertise in serving youth who must transition to independent young adulthood without the support and guidance typically provided by family.
