Participants in the Community Education Program at Camp Community College donated their time recently during the Bacon and Bourbon Fest in Smithfield.
Volunteering were Gladys Wiggins, Ann Spence, Dennis Rhoads, Joan Gates, Patricia Walker and Community Education Coordinator Melba Holland.
Smithfield VA Events, which brings several events to the Town of Smithfield each year, gives back more than $200,000 to charitable organizations in the community annually. One way that they do this is by giving back to organizations who support their events by volunteering.
The Camp program was awarded $300 for its volunteers donating their time to the festival. The presentation was made during the Smithfield VA Events Board for the 2019 Bacon & Bourbon Fest Volunteer and Check Reception held at the Smithfield Center on Oct. 23.
