Non-profits do their best to make an impact on Christmas during unique time:
Christmas is a time for giving. Despite the pandemic, local organizations are giving more than ever on Christmas Day. The Nick Lowery Youth Foundation and St. Vincent de Paul held their 15th consecutive Christmas Champions event to serve the homeless.
People formed lines to get their Christmas meal and gifts this year in order to adhere to safety protocols. It looked quite different compared to last year, when people were packed inside the dining room, close together, hugging. But, the message every year is the same: we’re all in this together.
