Southborough resident Kelly Donfield is spreading holiday cheer, hope and magic in more than one way. She has organized the Christmas Eve Jingle 2020, which will bring smiles to many faces, including kids in the pediatric unit at UMASS Memorial;s Children’s Medical Center in Worcester. You are asked to go outside on Christmas Eve, Thursday, December 24, at 6 pm and ring jingle bells for five minutes. Jingle bells will be sold and money collected will go towards fulfilling the wish lists of children who will be unable to celebrate Christmas at home this year.
Donfield and her elves will be at Aero Coffee Roasters, 318 Main Street in Northborough, Sunday, December 6 from 9:30 am – 11:30 am selling jingle bells. Your donation will ensure that you and your family are ready to jingle on Christmas Eve.
Bells can also be purchased on Saturday, December 12 at the NY Bagel Factory, 205 Turnpike Road, Southborough (formerly Red Barn Coffee Shops) from 9:30-11:30 am.
“It will be an amazing memory for our children and our community,” Donfield said. “It hopefully will bring a little cheer to a child facing a health crisis this Christmas.”
Donations can be made in cash or via Venmo @Kelly-Donfield.
