Being a Contemplative in Action Christmas In The City is a volunteer run, non-profit organization established in 1989. Their mission is to support and mentor Boston's homeless families.

It was a completely volunteer event, with all of the money coming from donations. The children are able to celebrate a very memorable holiday. After this, I felt that Jesus was with me, and that I had given back to the community in a big way.
