For 30 years, Holiday Express has been sharing joy and kindness during the holiday season with children and adults most in need and often forgotten during this time of the year. Led by founder Tim McLoone, we brighten the holidays for nearly 25,000 people facing mental and physical challenges, homelessness, addiction, serious illnesses, and other struggles. Each holiday season we make 100 stops at nonprofit agencies and organizations in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania where our team of volunteers lifts spirits with a holiday bash featuring live festive music, engaging activities with merry elves and holiday characters, individual gifts, food, and a visit from the Grinch, Frosty, Santa and Mrs. Claus. We rely on the community’s generosity and volunteers to deliver our mission of music, food, gifts, financial support, and friendship to those with the greatest need for the gift of human kindness during the holiday season and throughout the year. Holiday Express is guided by our core belief that kindness is the greatest gift that we can give to nurture the care and respect that all people need and deserve. The music we share removes barriers and connects the people we serve with each other and with our caring, dedicated volunteers. We foster kindness in our community, mobilizing volunteers of all ages to support our mission.
