Funeral Homes continues support for Empowering programs
Tribute Funeral Homes recently gave a check to Empowering Darke County
Youth to support its After School and Summer Tutoring programs. Tribute
Funeral Homes, which is locally owned and operated and has campuses in
Greenville and New Madison, has been an Empowering supporter since the
non-profit was established in March 2016.
Presenting the check to Empowering Executive Director Bob Robinson was
Thomas Shaw, Tribute Funeral Homes Apprentice Funeral Director.
Owned by Eric and Kristen Fee, the funeral home is an integral part of
the community and, according to Eric Fee, the name reflects the funeral
home’s goal of celebrating lives and serving families. Fee added he
supports the Empowering programs as they are much needed to help the
community and its future.
“It is already having a huge impact with the number of children it
serves each year,” he said. Empowering wrapped up the 2018-19 school
year having provided academic support to 155 students in its After
School Program on the Greenville Elementary and Middle School Campus.
The organization is currently enrolling for its summer tutoring program
beginning June 10. Small group tutoring will be available at Edison
State Community College on Wagner Avenue, Monday through Thursday from
4:00 to 5:30. Individual tutoring will be available Monday through
Friday mornings at the Greenville Public Library. Summer tutoring
services are available to all Darke County students, kindergarten
through grade 12.
Pick up an application at the Edison State Campus or the Greenville
Library, or send an email to empoweringyouth101@gmail.com.
All Empowering services are free to the student and his or her family.
Donations to help serve these students can be sent to PO Box 1113,
Greenville, Ohio 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.
