“Today, I celebrated Christmas early. The 25 homes I donated for homeless veterans were installed here in LA. It was fantastic to spend some time with our heroes and welcome them into their new homes,” Schwarzenegger wrote on Twitter on Thursday.

Specifically, Schwarzenegger donated $250,000 to the nonprofit Village for Vets, which went toward purchasing 25 tiny homes for retired service members who had previously been homeless, KKTV reported.
