UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is giving back during the holiday season.

Jones’ charitable side came out days before Christmas as on Monday, he spent several hours giving away winter coats to those less fortunate in Albuquerque, N.M., where he resides.

On Sunday, Jones shared an image on social media of a U-Haul loaded with $20,000 worth of freshly purchased winter coats from Burlington Coat Factory. He shared details of the giveaway, offering clothing and food to anyone in need that wanted to show up (via Twitter):

Jones’ message clearly spread well around the city, because a crowd of roughly 500 people – consisting primarily of the homeless – showed up on Monday to take advantage of the UFC champ’s good nature.

“We have a lot of homeless, we have a lot of mentally ill in this community, and a lot of these guys are just misunderstood,” Jones told Albuquerque news outlet KRQE. They need help, and keeping them warm is just going to be a great start for a better future,” Jones said.

After the fact, Jones shared some images from his day and said it was a “blessing to give, spread love” (via Instagram):
