Detroit’s Christmas spirit shines bright

Hundreds of Detroit kids woke up to surprise gifts this Christmas, thanks to Filthy Cares and a crew of local volunteers. From basketballs donated by the Pistons to gift cards and toys for all ages, the team went door-to-door spreading real holiday cheer. Filthy Rockwell, the musician behind it all, said he wanted to give kids the kind of Christmas he once wished for himself. The smiles and gratitude from families showed just how much these small acts of kindness matter. What do you think—should more neighborhoods organize something like this? #Safety #Detroit #ChristmasSpirit

Boston’s St. Francis House brings warmth to Christmas

Hundreds of Bostonians found more than just a hot meal at St. Francis House this Christmas—they found community, hope, and a break from the cold. Thanks to a generous $25,000 donation from a Medfield family and a team of dedicated volunteers, the city’s largest homeless shelter served up turkey, mashed potatoes, and cookies, turning a tough season into a moment of connection. For many, it’s not just about the food, but the chance to feel seen and supported. How do you think we can keep this spirit of giving alive all year round? #Safety #Boston #ChristmasSpirit

Christmas magic brightens a tough year in Chicago

A young boy on Chicago’s South Side, still grieving the loss of his mother, received an unexpected Christmas surprise at home this week—right before a major court hearing. It’s moments like these that remind us how a little kindness can bring hope, even in the hardest times. The gesture not only lifted his spirits but also brought the community together, showing how powerful support can be for families facing tough challenges. What are some ways we can keep this spirit of giving alive in our neighborhoods, especially for those who need it most? #Relationships #ChicagoCommunity #ChristmasSpirit

We skipped presents and brought "Max" home from the shelter instead.

The kids were disappointed at first, but that changed the moment we brought this old, unwanted dog home. For the first time, Max is sleeping on a warm rug instead of a cold cage this Christmas. Giving a life a home is the true holiday spirit. #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #NewFamilyMember #ChristmasSpirit

I Only Had $20 Left. I Gave $10 to the Flower Girl.

I'm broke too, worrying about next month's rent. But seeing that little girl selling her last bunch of roses in the freezing wind, I couldn't walk away. She said she couldn't go home until they were sold. I bought them and gave them to an elderly couple passing by. In that moment, I felt rich. Money measures living standards, not the warmth of a heart. Merry Christmas to me. #Giving #Perspective #LifeLessons #ChristmasSpirit
