Groton Wearing a reindeer mask and antlers, Groton Human Services social worker Lisa Fredsbo handed out gift cards to residents and exchanged holiday greetings with them Tuesday morning as they stopped by the Human Services Building for the annual December holiday distribution.
As holiday music played, residents walked one at a time up the stairs to receive a gift card to a local grocery store for a holiday meal, as well as gift cards for toys for children, and a box of cookies and a calendar. They then walked out through a separate exit.
The annual distribution is being held despite the pandemic but with new protocols in place, including social distancing and mask-wearing, and gift cards instead of toys and food.
