Halifax Community College’s Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society recently dropped off its summer donations to Halifax County’s Department of Social Services. 

PTK was welcomed by Deana Garner, human services deputy director, and several staff members.

During the months of March and April, PTK’s members collected numerous donations, including activity books, hula hoops, bubbles, flying discs, baby dolls, coloring books and crayons, pillows, fans, laundry detergent, toothbrushes and toothpaste, and more.
