Bistro
Off Broadway continues major Empowering support
GREENVILLE - Ted and Diana Abney, owners of Bistro Off Broadway, have
continued their support of Darke County young people with another major
donation to Empowering Darke County Youth for its After School and
Summer Tutoring programs.
The Abneys have been strong long-time supporters of the Darke County
Community, not only by providing a quality dining menu but also for
their support of various community organizations and the education of
Darke County’s young people. Their support of local youth has included
college scholarships, local 4H programs and, for the past two years,
Empowering Darke County Youth programs.
“We can’t thank Ted and Diana enough for their long time support of our
kids, and especially helping us work with kids who need extra help
reaching their educational goals,” said Bob Robinson, Executive
Director of Empowering Darke County Youth. “They are great examples of
the people we need to help to make a strong community.”
The Empowering After School Program recently passed the halfway mark in
its work with Greenville students, grades kindergarten through eight,
for the 2018-19 school year. Since its inception in 2016, Empowering
has worked over 13,000 hours in its After School and Summer Tutoring
programs with nearly 500 students from four school districts. The
organization hopes to expand both its After School and Summer Tutoring
programs to at least one additional district later this year.
In order to expand its reach to more students in Darke County,
Empowering needs continued support from the community. It can be in the
form of volunteering, provision of snacks and supplies, or donations
and grants. To find out more how you can help, go to the Empowering
Darke County Youth Facebook page or email: empoweringyouth101@gmail.com.
