FOXBORO, MASS. (WHDH) - Patriots players handed out Christmas trees, toys and coats to nearly 200 foster families in need on Saturday.
The event was put together by Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy and his wife Marissa.
The couple started their foundation three years ago to help raise funds to improve the lives of foster children and their families.
“We started it because I’m adopted and my wife’s dad and brother are adopted, and its a big part of our lives,” Van Noy said.
Along with free Christmas trees, volunteers at Gillette Stadium handed out tree decorations and stands, as well as a new winter coat to each child.
