Remember Rodney Smith Jr.? He became a sensation this summer as he traveled to all 50 states to mow peoples’ lawns for free:

Rodney is back with a new project and it’s even more awesome than the free lawn service. Now Rodney is headed to all 50 states and, dressed as Santa Claus, he’s handing out supplies like coats and sleeping bags to homeless people and then surprising them by granting them what they want for Christmas:

For example, he gave this mother-to-be in Salt Lake City supplies and a hotel room for the night:
Meet Ms. Gardener . I met her at Pioneer Park in Salt Lake . She's been homeless for a few months . What makes matters worst is, she is pregnant . Glad she said this made her Christmas and put a smile on her face pic.twitter.com/RsxhsZGjC5
