Christmas at TMM

On Christmas Day, from  8:30 am to 1:00 pm, thousands of homeless and near-homeless men, women and children will be welcomed for a hearty traditional Christmas brunch.  Concurrently, TMM will be hosting Santa’s Village where homeless and near-homeless children will be able to select toys of their choice and meet Santa Claus.  Volunteers from corporate sponsor, Nestlé USA, will also be distributing food bags to the neediest in our community. 

Hundreds of volunteers led by Dick Van Dyke will be on hand to serve as elves demonstrating how LA cares about its most needy citizens.  Santa’s Village is made possible by hundreds of volunteers, businesses, service groups and individuals who have helped us to collect thousands of toys to distribute.         
           
Thousands of homeless and near-homeless people will get the opportunity to enjoy the season’s most special holiday. Children will arrive early morning to secure their place in line hours before Santa’s Village opens.  Parents will smile as they witness their children’s joy as they meet Santa and Mrs. Claus and select their own special gifts.  With the backdrop of the worst economic cycle the country has experienced in decades, there will be an opportunity to learn first-hand how people are faring. Already there has been an incredible increase in the demand for our traditional services at our facility and others.  This event presents the opportunity to chronicle the very real tragedies that live behind the headlines.
