Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Act Santa Claus for Underprivileged Kids  12/24/07

Kind-hearted parents-to-be Nicole Richie and Joel Madden threw a special pre-Christmas party in Los Angeles on Saturday (22Dec07) for underprivileged kids.

The couple helped to hand out gifts to 200 children from Beyond Shelter, which helps combat homelessness and poverty, at the bash hosted by their charity, the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation.

The pair donated new shoes and teddy bears to the kids at the extravaganza, held at the Paramount Studios in L.A, organized to give the youngsters a festive treat.

Richie says, "We really wanted to give these kids a really wonderful and special Christmas. It's our favorite holiday."

Madden adds, "It's fun for us to be with a bunch of kids who are having a good time. They make you smile. Hopefully for today they're feeling special.

We're just really happy to be a part of the community and celebrating with these kids who haven't been as fortunate as us."
