Free Beer and Hot Wings Holiday Break-ins

Free Beer (Gregg) and Hot Wings (Chris) have been doing the Holiday Break-ins for 21 years. It all started with one family back in the day but thanks to support from Serra Honda Grandville, the Idiots for Underdogs charity, many businesses in West Michigan, and generous citizens in the community has grown to help multiple families each year has a Christmas that otherwise may not have had one at all.

The Free Beer & Hot Wings Holiday Break-ins are based on people in the community nominating a family that is having a hard time and who could use a helping hand. When the nominations window closes, the show reads all the letters and selects families they feel they can help the most. The break-ins have grown so much that the entire Free Beer and Hot Wings Show cast as well as Janna and Tommy from 979 GRD are all able to help families in need.
