Jackson Price has spent a lot of time this year making sandwiches, soups, hot chocolates and gift cards for vulnerable populations in St. John's, making waves in the community.
Jackson Price has had a good fall.
He's been featured in the local newspaper, he's been on TV, he was invited to speak at to a university group — and he started Grade 1.
The six-year-old boy is getting lots of attention in Newfoundland and Labrador for his small acts of kindness in the city of St. John's.
Since September, he's delivered sandwiches, cold plates, hot chocolates and soups to vulnerable populations in the city. He's now working on Christmas cards that he and his family hope to deliver on Christmas Day.
"I have no idea where he came up with the idea … Like, for someone six years old to fathom the interest in doing something like this," Jackson's mom, Jennifer Smith, told CTV National News.
It started with a hard question: One day, Jackson asked his mom why there were bunches of tents erected in a homeless encampment along a popular St. John's road.
"I said 'They have no homes,' so I said 'They're staying in tents,'" Smith explained.
