In June Empowering Darke County Youth received donations from Dave Knapp Ford Lincoln, VFW 7262, Harry D. Stephens Memorial, Medicine & More, Bruns Animal Clinic, Rotary Club of Greenville, Edison State Community College, and Darke County United Way.
“It was a good month for support of our program,” said Bob Robinson, Empowering Darke County Youth. “Each of these organizations and businesses have been strong supporters for years, and we appreciate it.”
Since 2016, Empowering Programs have helped more than 1,200 students who were struggling academically. And the programs continue to grow. There are now five After School Programs serving four Darke County School Districts: Greenville (elementary and middle), Ansonia elementary, Arcanum-Butler middle and, beginning this fall, Mississinawa Valley elementary.
