This time last year I was in a really bad situation said volunteer and St. Anthonys rehab program participant Tim Stewart. This year Im employed and volunteering on Christmas day to give back. And tomorrow Ill be back at work!

St. Anthonys will served an estimated 4,000 meals this on Christmas Day 2009, and gave out gifts of new socks, hats, toiletries, and chocolate bars to guests, thanks to donations and volunteer efforts of Gymboree, the Hilton, and the Palace Hotel.

St. Anthony Foundations programs help heal individuals and families with programs that provide a gateway out of poverty, including a Dining Room which serves 2600 meals every day, a free clothing program, a technology lab, residential drug and alcohol recovery program, and a free medical clinic. St. Anthony Foundation does not accept any federal, state, or local government money for its programs, and is entirely funded by private donations.
