VGCC Students Provide Art for Senior Center

We are changing the image of our agency to an inspiring and enriching agency. These paintings will help us to reach this goal as we showcase the beauty of art. It is through the kind acts of those in the community that Vance Department of Social Services and the Senior Center are flourishing. Individuals and agencies such as Vance-Granville Community College are the reason the Senior Center is able to provide services such as Meals on Wheels, art classes, quilting classes and many others.”Foti said that she hoped the community would come see the new paintings at the Senior Center, located on Garnett Street in Henderson, and find out about the center’s wide variety of activities and travel opportunities for residents age 50 and over. The Senior Center also offers services at the Vance County Department of Social Services, located on Ruin Creek Road in Henderson.
