Youth provide boost to hospice for second straight year

On Oct. 10, a group of local youth completed its summer fundraising vision for the North Perth Community Hospice when it completely redesigned the downtown Listowel office’s new ‘Kids’ Corner.’ The members, who range from grades four to 10, sold homemade bracelets and jam over the summer, then used the $1,500 in profits to buy materials to outfit the space, all in an effort to assist children dealing with difficult circumstances when they visit the hospice. The group is pictured in the new and improved Kids’ Corner, and includes: Kloey and Cali Blagrave, Jaxon and Camdyn McLaughlin, Jayda Johnston, Chloe and Abigail Bridge, and Myia Loube.
