What a great way to spend Christmas... helping others

Does anyone know of something like this being done in France ?

the inner wheel http://www.innerwheel.fr/ does this every year round us, they just dont shout about it. there is also a big meal for the homeless and those in need in toulouse today as well.

Many french neighbours invite people into their homes too that are less fortunate.
