Ahead of Christmas this year, Arnold Schwarzenegger continued his annual tradition of giving back to the community.

Every year, the six-time Mr. Olympia winner sets aside a substantial sum to ensure the less privileged receive meaningful support. And this year's no different

"This week, we are supporting @afterschoolallstars and the 150,000 students they serve. But the bigger message is this: every day, each of us has the power to serve," the post said on Instagram.

And one message that stood out in encouraging fans to participate said, "You don't need money to make a difference...Every day is a chance to add light."

It's not his first time working with the NGO for kids. In 2023, during the 10th annual Westime Charity Night, he raised $7 million for After-School All-Stars (ASAS), making it one of the largest fundraisers in the non-profit organization’s history.

The origin of this event dates back to 2013, when Arnold hosted a few friends in his home for ASAS. Ever since then, he has hosted the event annually, going as far as bringing in event partners like Richard Mille and Audemars Piguet.

And with this service, Arnold Schwarzenegger continues his Christmas tradition

Last Christmas, Arnold Schwarzenegger purchased 23 homes for the homeless veterans living on the streets of Los Angeles through his donation to the Village for Vets initiative. “

"Today, I celebrated Christmas early. The 25 homes I donated for homeless veterans were installed here in LA. It was fantastic to spend some time with our heroes and welcome them into their new homes,” said Arnold after donating a massive $250,000 for the cause.

Schwarzenegger’s contribution served as a catalyst, helping Village for Vets attract over $100,000 in new donations from 120+ supporters, alongside a significant increase in followers and expanded online reach.
