Christmas spirit
MONTPELIER â Cameron OâConnor and Lloyd Richards are huge boosters of the Montpelier Food Pantry. Their kids are now grown, and the College Street couple well-known for their dogs, Willie and Buddy, decided to do some unconventional Christmas shopping this year.
Richards will tell you it was his wifeâs idea and OâConnor will insist the focus should be on the food pantry, which serves a vital purpose in the community and, she fears, could struggle in 2021 as holiday giving fades and demand sadly doesnât.
Sheâs right.
Itâs a problem OâConnor is toying with ways to help solve come the new year, and donât bet against her because she can get pretty creative.
