Holiday Express Gives Thanks to Community & Volunteers
32nd Season of Delivering Kindness Ends on a High Note

Now that Holiday Express’ 32nd season has come to an end, we would like to express our gratitude to the entire community for its support of our mission to deliver the gift of human kindness through music.
This year, thanks to the community’s generosity, our “Kindness Tour” took us to 100 locations including psychiatric hospitals, veterans’ homes, schools for the physically/mentally disabled, homeless shelters, mental health/substance abuse facilities and soup kitchens.
These visits are particularly important to the more than 27,000 residents in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania that are often forgotten or not seen – people who may not have the luxury of going home for the holidays.

Our visits bring joy, happiness, gifts, and some much-needed essential items to people who need them most. These moments of connection and compassion are not just meaningful — they are vital.
We also want to express our deep appreciation to the 1,500 dedicated volunteers whose hard work and passion make this mission possible. From assembling gift bags to performing music and delivering joy at every stop, their contributions are invaluable.

We would not be able to accomplish our goals of delivering holiday kindness without the love and support of our local community. We are so very appreciative of the community’s past – and current – support, and we look forward to many more years of sharing comfort and joy with those in need.
From all of us at Holiday Express, thank you for enabling us to pay it forward.
Warmly,
Tim McLoone, Founder
