Knapp adds Empowering to his community support
GREENVILLE - Dave Knapp, Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln, has been active and
supportive of community programs and services for the 23 years he has
been in business. His support ranges from providing vehicles for
parades to donations to organizations such as Gathering at Garst,
Cancer Association of Darke County and more.
He has recently added Empowering Darke County Youth to his community
support, noting the work the organization does is important to Darke
County. The Empowering Board, volunteers and kids they serve appreciate
his support.
Empowering Darke County Youth provides After School and Summer Tutoring
programs to assist students in the areas of language arts and math with
the goal of Strong Students for a Strong Community.
Empowering is wrapping up summer programs soon and preparing for its
second year working with students after school. The After School
Program served 79 students in the inaugural 2016-17 year, with many of
them achieving Merit and Honor Roll or otherwise improving their
academic skills. Nearly 60 students were helped to maintain or build on
their academics this summer.
Community volunteer and funding support is constantly needed. If you
would like to help, please contact Empowering on its Facebook page,
email: empoweringdarkecountyyouth@gmail.com or P.O. Box 1113,
Greenville 45331. To those who have helped us during our first year of
service, thank you! We appreciate your support and concern for our kids.
