A sanitation worker in Keyport transformed into Santa to give gifts out to families around the neighborhood.

Richard LeComte drives a garbage truck, and gives out candy canes every year during the holidays.

He says he decided to do something different due to this year.

LeComte and his wife, Dolores, put together homemade gift baskets to give out.

He has worked throughout the pandemic as he's an essential worker. LeComte says if he can help anyone, especially people out of work, he wants to do whatever he can.
