NHS Human Services to Host Holiday Party for Local Families in North Philadelphia
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) December 11, 2013 -- NHS Human Services announced it will host its third annual holiday party for families on Saturday, December 7 at its North Philadelphia facility. Nearly 450 parents and children will be dressed in pajamas for the Polar Express-themed celebration that will feature an oversized inflatable train, as well as refreshments, gift distribution and an activity room with holiday arts and crafts. Santa Claus will make a special appearance and will distribute gifts and pose for pictures with each child.
“For many families, the gifts their children receive at this party are the only presents they receive during the holiday season,” said Senator M. Joseph Rocks, Chairman and CEO of NHS Human Services. “It’s a great time for everyone and serves as a way for these families to get together and share some holiday cheer.”
For the third year in a row, NHS has hosted the holiday party at its North Philadelphia facility which serves more than 1,800 people each year by providing outpatient services for those with behavioral health issues.
