Churches, businesses and other area organizations got in the holiday spirit by giving away free meals and toys this Christmas.
Eight area restaurants including Stone Rose and Bar Lucca donated food to the Conshohocken Free Christmas Dinner that took place Wednesday afternoon at The Fellowship House on Harry Street.
Elsewhere in Montgomery County, a free holiday meal was available at the Lansdale Music Factory on West Main Street. The Calvary Chapel of Bucks County hosted the event.
Back in the city, the One Day at a Time drug and alcohol recovery program gave away Christmas gifts to families in North Philadelphia. With the help of the Philadelphia Church of Christ, the group has been handing out presents for the past 16 years.
