AUBURN, N.Y. -- The Finger Lakes Mall in Auburn was packed with families for this year's second Holiday of Hope event. Organizers decided to hold an additional giveaway after hundreds of people were turned away last Sunday.

Families received food and gifts from Tops Supermarkets and Bass Pro Shops and enjoyed a bounce house.

"Today we just did things a little bit differently because unfortunately we couldn't do it exactly the day we did it on Sunday, because on Sunday we had hair salons and professional photography studios come in. We couldn't really get that put together so quickly, but what we did do today was brought in a couple very large bounce houses that were donated to us by Super Bounce right here in the mall," said Sean Wrench, founder of Foresaken Generation.

Over a thousand people showed up to this year's two day event.
