Eikenberry’s IGA supports Empowering youth programs
GREENVILLE – Mark Davis, President and General Manager of Eikenberry’s
IGA Foodliners, Greenville, recently presented a check to Bob Robinson,
Executive Director of Empowering Darke County Youth, in support of its
programs to help county youth succeed in their educational goals.
“We started this program in 2016,” said Robinson, “and we’ve been
asking individuals, businesses and other organizations for support ever
since. I personally have no problem begging on behalf of our kids.
“Mark came up to me and said it was time for them to help out,”
Robinson continued. “I didn’t have to ask. I can’t tell you how great
that feeling is. On behalf of our Board, our staff, volunteers and
especially our kids, we would like to thank Mark and Eikenberry’s IGA
for its generosity.”
Empowering programs focus on helping students who are struggling with
the basics: reading and comprehension, and math. In addition to its
Greenville and Ansonia After School Programs, Empowering tutors and
volunteers this year have helped students in three additional school
districts in the county.
Empowering Darke County Youth is a 501c3 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.
