Despite the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, philanthropist Janet Richards, through her foundation, has managed to host another series of Christmas treats for children at homes and health facilities in St James.
In what was the 15th annual effort by the foundation, Richards brought cheer to children at the Cornwall Regional Hospital (CRH), Melody House, and Mustard Seed Home, finding creative ways to reach them in light of COVID-19 protocols.
