JNJ Express donated 2 refrigerated trucks to Soulful Memphis Operation Christmas Basket to keep the food fresh for thousands of deserving families.

At JNJ Express, we are always looking for ways to get involved in our community. This year we donated two refrigerated trailers to Memphis’ annual Operation Christmas Basket. It was a great way for us to help the city of Memphis provide food to those that might not be able to afford a Christmas dinner. The two-day operation was held a City View Towers and The Cook Convention Center. The two days were moving and an amazing production. In all, 5,000 deserving families received a holiday feast. Mayor Jim Strickland attended both days and help hand out food to Memphians. And the Memphis Grizzlies helped.
