Bailey supports Empowering programs
GREENVILLE – Zechar Bailey Funeral Home Director Greg Zechar joined
Empowering kids recently, bringing a check with him for the After
School Program. Accepting the check was ASP Program Coordinator Chelsea
Jones.
Zechar Bailey Funeral Home has long supported a variety of community
programs, including sending care packages to troops overseas and
honoring the staff at State of the Heart Care. The funeral home has
helped support a college scholarship program since 2012, and the
Empowering programs since 2017.
The Empowering After School Program is wrapping up its third year,
having worked nearly 5,000 hours with 154 students. Program
Coordinators Kay Sloat and Chelsea Jones have developed tutoring modes
that allow the program to help as many as 50 students a day. Summer
tutoring enrollment will be scheduled soon. Locations will again be
Edison State Community College Darke County Campus and Greenville
Public Library. Ask about the summer program or how to help the
non-profit organization’s efforts at empoweringyouth101@gmail.com.
Donations may be sent to Empowering Darke County Youth at P.O. Box
1113, Greenville 45331.
The Empowering Mission: Empowering Darke County Youth is a United Way
Partner Agency providing 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.
