Christmas and the holiday season is meant for giving, receiving and spending time with the ones you love. However, not everyone gets to do those three things.
Even in normal circumstances, some folks at nursing homes and care centers donât get to see their families very often. This Christmas season, restrictions and precautions due to COVID-19 make the holidays even tougher.
Cassidy Harris, a realtor in Mason City, saw an opportunity to make the holiday season a little brighter for the IOOF Home and Community Therapy Center and the Heritage Care and Rehabilitation Center by donating gifts.
