The Miami Rescue Mission reached out to the community's homeless and needy population on Friday, providing them with an early July 4th celebration. In addition to a traditional Independence Day meal of hot dogs and hamburgers, beans and coleslaw, attendees got treated to free haircuts, showers, free shoes for the kids, medical check ups and live entertainment, including a visit from the Claus family.
