What goes into becoming Saint Nick? It takes more than just a red suit and white beard to don the title of Santa Claus. Every year, those who want to perfect the art of being Santa travel to Midland, Michigan, to attend the world's oldest and longest running Santa school.

On August 25, Hurricane Harvey slammed into southeast Texas. The storm devastated the region, destroying homes, and changing millions of people's lives.

Rebuilding a Home for a World War II Veteran
Memories of D-Day remain vivid for 93-year-old veteran Charles Adderley. Following his return home from World War II, the Miami native raised five children, worked for the United States Postal Service and served actively through his church community. But by 2017, the home where Adderley had been residing for 40 years was in dire need of repairs. United by their respect and gratitude for their neighbor and friend, an eclectic mix of volunteers has come forward to rebuild Mr. Adderley's beloved, longtime home.
