Dave
Knapp continues Empowering support
GREENVILLE – Dave Knapp, Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln, recently donated his
second check in the past six months supporting efforts by Empowering
Darke County Youth to help children struggling with their academics.
When it comes to community support, Knapp has been a powerful force for
years. He has supported Darke County athletes with scholarships through
the Senior Scribes Scholarship Fund, supported local cancer programs,
Youth For Christ of Miami Valley golf tournaments and more. Local
non-profit groups want to raise money with car washes? They go to Dave
Knapp for their location.
Dave simply says he wants to give back to the community that supports
him.
Empowering Darke County Youth is wrapping up its second full year of
service to local young people. Volunteer and financial support is still
needed. Requests for help in the Greenville K-4 After School Program
nearly doubled from 2016 to 2017, starting the year with a waiting list
of 35 students. Requests for the countywide Summer Tutoring Program
also nearly doubled from 2016 to 2017, again exceeding the program’s
ability to meet the need.
If you would like to help, contact Empowering Darke County Youth
through its Facebook page or email:
empoweringdarkecountyyouth@gmail.com. You can help in any way you feel
comfortable. Volunteers are needed to work with the students as well as
to help build the Empowering program.
The Empowering 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.
