District Attorney Seth Williams visited the Covenant House in Germantown on Tuesday afternoon, and he was on a ‘gifting’ mission to give holiday presents to homeless teens.
The gifts, more than 50 of which were provided by the Williams-launched Second Chance Foundation, were given out at the Armat Street location of Covenant House, the city’s largest provider of services to homeless and runaway youths.
Browns’ Family ShopRite chipped in by “providing a holiday meal for the teens with all of the trimmings,” according to a press release about the event.
