In order to spread holiday cheer to youth in Montgomery County, students and employees from Lone Star College-Montgomery visited a Montgomery County Youth Services shelter on Wednesday, December 16, to deliver gifts, food, and decorations for a Christmas tree. Some of the students were members of the on-campus student organization, FOCUS, which stands for Followers Of Christ Uniting in Service. The students and employees took time to play games and visit with the youth at the shelter.
 
“I know it meant so much to the kids at the shelter for our students to be there,” said Dr. Julie Leidig, vice president of instruction at LSC-Montgomery. “I believe it’s a good experience for the youth at the shelter to see what life could be like for them in a year or two.”
