ASHTABULA —
Dollar General Literacy Foundation has awarded a $3,000 Youth Literacy grant to Ashtabula Area City Schools.
“The Dollar General Literacy Foundation is pleased to support the literacy efforts of Ashtabula Area City Schools,” said Rick Dreiling, Dollar General’s chairman and CEO. “The Youth Literacy grants are awarded annually at the start of the school year so that the funds are in place to have an impact on reading education and support.”
Dollar General Literacy Foundation’s Youth Literacy grants are awarded to assist with implementing new or expanding existing youth literacy programs; to buy new technology or equipment to support youth literacy initiatives; or to purchase books, materials or software.
In August, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation awarded grants totaling more than $2 million to 564 non-profit organizations, community groups, schools and libraries throughout the U.S.
It is estimated that about 315,000 children will be served with these grants.
Since its founding, Dollar General has been committed to literacy and education.
