Students in the Christian’s Fellowship Organization at Vance-Granville Community College recently completed a service project to benefit local families in need during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. The club “adopted” two families in Vance County by providing them each with Thanksgiving dinner and children’s toys for Christmas presents.
