The generosity of one woman benefited 21 organizations and six students on Wednesday evening.
At the Annual General Meeting for the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation, a significant amount of funds were handed out as part of the Kay Stafford Fund.
Stafford was a Canada Post worker who left over a million dollars to the Foundation.
Executive Director Wendy Warner has the details.
