Catholic Community Services, a ministry of Catholic Charities of Philadelphia, hosted its 12th annual Operation Bundle Up community giveaway event to provide cold-weather essentials to families struggling to obtain clothing for the winter season.
The Dec. 6 event took place in the gym at St. Martin of Tours.
CCS staff and volunteers distributed winter coats, hats, gloves and a variety of other cold-weather essentials to individuals and families. They were joined by about 20 vendors connecting families with resources.
The event also included a DJ, face painting, popcorn, cotton candy, gifts handed out by Santa and Mrs. Claus and giveaways of school supplies and baby clothing. ••
