President, VP and spouses help food kitchen for holiday
Source: AP
By DARLENE SUPERVILLE WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, helped a local food kitchen prepare Thanksgiving meals for the needy before leaving town — like millions of other Americans — to resume their family tradition of spending the holiday on tiny Nantucket island in Massachusetts. Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, joined the outing to DC Central Kitchen, which serves cooked-from-scratch meals alongside training for culinary jobs. Decked out in DC Central Kitchen aprons, the four dished out turkey, gravy, sweet potatoes and green beans into trays to be packed up for needy D.C. residents. Jill Biden kicked off the holiday season at the White House on Monday when she received the official White House Christmas tree — an 18 1/2-foot (5.6 meter) Fraser fir cut from a North Carolina farm that she declared “magnificent.” The tree is destined for the Blue Room as the showstopper of Christmas at the White House — Biden’s first as president.

President Joe Biden, first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and second gentleman Doug Emhof.
  
Class and grace are quite virtues. Joe has seen and gone through real suffering and yet his faith and his own inner grace makes him understand that helping people is the path to real joy. |
