The Salvation Army hosted a mini-Christmas festival in Harlem for families in need.
Friday night's festival came as more New Yorkers face hardships including hunger, buying warm clothes and putting presents under the Christmas tree.
"With things so expensive and some families really have to decide whether to buy their kids toys or not, or whether to put food on the table or not," said Lt. Neekenson Fils-Aime of the Salvation Army. "Christmas is a big thing. So this means everything to me that I get to share something with my daughter," one person said.
