Empowering Benefits from Mercer Savings Mission
GREENVILLE – As a mutual bank, Mercer Savings Bank has always been
deeply rooted in the communities it serves and, as part of that,
believes that reinvesting in those communities should be a large part
of its mission.
Each month, The Bank’s Giving Mission provides one office the
opportunity to choose an organization to receive $1,000. Along
with the donation, offices are able to collect items or run a similar
campaign to bring awareness to the organization they have chosen.
Mercer Savings Bank’s Greenville Office chose Empowering Darke County Youth.
Spearheaded by Bob Robinson in 2016, Empowering Darke County Youth
(EDCY) provides free after-school and summer tutoring programs to
assist students in the areas of reading comprehension and math.
Its mission: empowering strong students for a strong
community. The organization currently serves 120+ youth in grades
1-8 in Greenville City and Ansonia Local Schools. They have plans
to expand into a third school district this year.
Experienced tutors, many of whom are retired teachers and former
substitutes, along with 30-40 area high school and college-age students
can be found tutoring students. The group is always in need of
more volunteers, with work ranging from 1-on-1 tutoring to small group
settings where they work together on homework or provided curriculum.
“Mercer Savings Bank is a great example of the community stepping
forward for our kids. We are so very grateful,” Robinson
says. “This community really cares, and these kids are our
future.”
Mercer Savings Bank has been a trusted community bank since 1888.
They offer the financial products and services that make your life
easier and your money work harder for you – mortgage and consumer
loans, checking and savings, MMDA, mobile banking, mobile deposit, and
CardValet. To find out more about Mercer Savings Bank and what
they have to offer, stop by one of their locations in Celina, Fort
Recovery, or Greenville, call 877-672-4543, or visit mercersavings.com.
