Empowering Darke County Youth
Local tutoring
organization to hold fundraisers
Empowering Darke County Youth has two fundraisers planned, the first a
Bob Evans Fundraiser on Tuesday and the second a car wash at Dave Knapp
Ford Lincoln in August.
Pick up a flyer at Greenville Public Library from now through Tuesday,
and at Edison Community College on Monday or Tuesday and enjoy a great
meal at Bob Evans in Greenville. Present your flyer with your bill and
you will also be supporting the Empowering Darke County Youth After
School Program scheduled to begin in the fall.
Then on Aug. 13, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., give your vehicle(s) a bath
courtesy of Empowering volunteers and Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln.
Thanks to many individual donors, the Chalmers family bake sales, plus
support from businesses and organizations like Oliver Floyd Funeral
Home, Rolling 50s Car Club, Rapid Printing, Ramco Electric Motors and
Modern Mothers of Versailles, seven tutors have been able to help 43
students improve their education skills this summer. Most of these
children are (or were) considered at-risk.
One young mother was especially grateful, noting her son was going to
be held back until he received tutoring help. “Today, he reads not only
above average in the district but also above average in the state,” she
said, grinning.
She has offered to become one of Empowering’s growing volunteer force.
Donations from the community will help the tutoring program reach more
students this fall and into the spring. Donations may be mailed to
Empowering Darke County Youth, PO Box 1113, Greenville 45331. More
information? Email empoweringdarkecountyyouth@gmail.com or message
Facebook Empowering Darke County Youth.
In the meantime, plan on a great meal at Bob Evans and giving your
vehicle a bath at Dave Knapp Ford in August.
