Including a food drive to benefit Parkland Cares Food Pantry
Allentown, Pa., November 6, 2023 – Cetronia Ambulance Corps is pleased to announce its 2nd Annual Health & Wellness Expo in partnership with the Parkland Cares Food Pantry. The Expo will take place on Saturday, November 11, 2023, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. It will be located at the joint operations facility located at 4300 Broadway, Allentown, Pa. The Expo is free to the public. Plenty of free parking will be available. In an effort to fill an ambulance with food, the following donations are needed most: small cans of tuna and chicken noodle soup, boxed macaroni and cheese, and Chef Boyardee products.
Cetronia’s Health & Wellness Expo will feature a variety of vendors for all ages. There will be instruction on hands-only CPR and stop-the-bleed methods, blood pressure readings, glucose readings, and car seat safety information. The Center For Humanistic Change will have a mock teen bedroom set-up to offer parents tips about addiction behaviors.

Mateff Sr, Chief Executive Office of Cetronia Ambulance Corps. “Since 1955 Cetronia’s mission has been to be the leader in not only emergency medical services and transportation but also in community health resources.
