York, Pennsylvania -- 24 students from York College of Pennsylvania, recently returned from Anniston, Alabama where they were participating in a special project. The York College chapter of Habitat For Humanity helped build two homes from the ground up. The nonprofit group assists those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder.
