BERLIN, SOMERSET COUNTY--- Big Rubbers Custom 4x4 surprised a Berlin family Wednesday with a Thanksgiving feast.

The Helbig family from Berlin has been struggling the last few years.  Nancy Helbig said she had more mouths to feed after her daughter and grandkids moved back from Texas to go to school.  With limited funds, money for a turkey dinner seemed unimaginable.

"You make do with what you have too," said Helbig.

Big Rubbers Custom 4x4 out of Windber is known for his charity work, especially during the holidays.  This Thanksgiving is no different.

"It's rewarding to give," said John Dill, a member of the club.  "Hopefully others will follow and maybe then everyone can get a little help." 

The club raised money at different events throughout the year.  Randy's Bi Lo in Windber also contributes to the clubs donations.  This Thanksgiving the Helbig family will have a feast because of this surprise donation.

"It's a amazing... this is just past thankful it gives us hope," said Helbig.
