NORTHAMPTON, MA (WSHM) -

Dozens of volunteers turned out at the World War II Club Sunday afternoon to help homeless veterans.

The event, entitled "Thanksgiving in December," was the second put on by Hampden County Physician Associates.

The group joined forces with several community partners to provide clothes and a hot meal for veterans who are looking to get back on their feet.

There were also representatives in attendance from various groups designed to help veterans in need.

Hampden County Physician Associates plan on holding another event this coming spring.
