Brethren
Retirement Community donates to Empowering programs
Brethren Retirement Community has been serving senior citizens in Darke
County and surrounding areas for over a century. Through a recent
donation to Empowering Darke County Youth, BRC also continues to serve
community young people.
Brethren Retirement Community has been a strong force in the community
since its founding 115 years ago. Today it offers a variety of levels
of care, from independent living and winter stay to assisted living,
skilled nursing and more. Empowering volunteers and the children they
serve appreciate the retirement community’s support.
Empowering offers a variety of programs, from the After School Program
to Summer Tutoring at the Greenville Library and Summer Reading at
Edison State Community College, Darke County Campus. The tutoring
program is unable to take any more requests at this time, however the
Summer Reading Program is open Mondays from 3:30 to 5:30 and Tuesdays
and Thursdays from 1:00 to 3:00. No appointment necessary, just drop in
and “read a bit.”
“We would like to thank the community for its continuing support of our
programs,” said Eric Fee, Empowering President. He noted, however, the
summer programs are still short of their funding goals for this year.
Donations can be sent to Empowering Darke County Youth, P.O. Box 1113,
Greenville, Ohio 45331.
The Mission: 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.
