When the holiday season arrives, for many throughout the nation it is a joyous and celebratory time of year, but for those that can barely make ends meet, it can become a sad reminder of hard times. Despite not having a turkey, or being without gifts, the proud underprivileged children of our great nation are thankful for the roof over their heads, and the clothes on their backs.

Americans Helping Americans® brought the spirit of Christmas to West Virginia, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Tennessee in the form of holiday parties, with plenty of food and gifts for all!

Participants played games, ate special Christmas treats, opened presents including toys and new shoes, and shared their happiness with others of families sitting together in fellowship to share a Christmas dinner. One of the children even declared it “the best party I have ever been to!”

This year, Americans Helping Americans® spread the joy of Christmas to over 1,200 men, women, and children!
