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."
