Hundreds of children turned out from Paradise and its surrounding communities in Montego Bay, St James to receive Christmas gifts from Olympian Briana Williams during the third staging of her annual Christmas Treat on Tuesday (December 21).

The Olympic gold medallist feted children at the Paradise Community Centre from 10 am to 3 pm.

The activities included bounce-about rides, a Santa Village, digital games and gifts from Digicel for each child in attendance.

Grace Foods was also on hand to provide boxed lunches, snacks and grocery goodie bags.

According to Williams, the Christmas treat was special this year.

“For the last two treats, we had to deliver the gifts to each home wearing masks because of the pandemic. It’s nice to host a fun day and interact with the community. This is what makes Christmas special for the children,” she said.

“Special thanks to my sponsors Digicel, Grace Foods and KIG Jamaica for making this a reality for the last three years.”
