Nonprofit Special Angels of The Woodlands was awarded a $2,500 grant Dec. 9 with the help of students from Lone Star College Montgomery, according to a press release. Students in an English class worked in groups representing five local nonprofits to research and develop a presentation on each nonprofit's needs and challenges. Special Angels of The Woodlands acts as a day activity center for adults with intellectual disabilities.

“They were enthusiastic and motivated to learn about our organization and how they can make a difference for our clients and community," Taylor said. "We recognize that these students have a bright future ahead of them!”
