Greenville Eagles continues support of Empowering Programs
GREENVILLE – Greenville Eagles 2177 continues its strong support of
Empowering Darke County Youth as part of its mission to enhance the
lives of local children, their parents and the residents of the
Greenville community.
The local non-profit organization, in addition to a wide variety of
community support programs, has provided college scholarships for
years, and has since supported Empowering programs with major donations
for the past two years. Recent Eagles donations, in addition to
Empowering, have included Main Street Greenville, Bear’s Mill,
Greenville Boys and Girls Club, Annie Oakley Festival and more.
According to Eagles Secretary JoEllen Melling, the Greenville Fraternal
Order of Eagles is a fraternal organization that focuses on helping
people in the local community through donations and activities.
With charitable bingo funds, the Eagles can give back through donations
that directly impact the local community.
“We welcome the public to join our organization, located at 113 East
Third St., Greenville, Ohio, where you can be a part of our mission
that focuses on people helping people.”
“The Eagles has been a strong supporter of programs supporting our
kids,” said Bob Robinson, Executive Director of Empowering Darke County
Youth. “We can’t thank the organization enough for what they do.”
Empowering Darke County Youth recently completed its third year of
After School Tutoring Programs, working over 5,000 hours with 151
students. Since 2016, Empowering tutors and volunteers have worked
15,013 hours with 572 students from six Darke County school districts.
Empowering services are free to the student and his or her family. They
are paid for with donations, grants and fundraisers such as a Day for
Empowering at JT’s Brew & Grill on June 26. Anyone who would like
to help, volunteer or donate, can contact Empowering Darke County Youth
at PO Box 1113 Greenville, empoweringyouth101@gmail.com or on Facebook.
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.
