Harry Stephens
Memorial supports BBBS
The Harry Stephens Memorial recently made a donation to Big Brothers
Big Sisters of Shelby and Darke County. This donation is
specific to the Darke County program and will assist the agency in
continuing to serve “at risk” children through the Big Buddies after
school program in Darke County.
Mentoring programs provide support, activities, education, and most
importantly, a mentor for children who may be considered
at-risk.. The children involved in this program have the
opportunity to engage in fun, social and academic enrichment activities
with the interaction of their mentor. It is our goal to teach
these children, through their relationship with their mentor, skills in
managing life in a high-risk environment.
Thanks to generous donations like that from the Harry Stephens Memorial
Foundation matches continue to be made in the Darke County and
continue to help children in a positive way.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Shelby & Darke County is a nonprofit
organization whose mission is to develop and mature quality
relationships between children and volunteers. The relationship
is meant to guide each child towards becoming a confident, competent,
and caring individual. If anyone is interested in becoming a volunteer,
you may call the office at 547-9622 or 492-7611
