Victory Project, a local non-profit organization working with young men in our community, is gearing up for students to spend more time in its programs.

In the summer, students spend more time at the VP, often arriving at lunchtime rather than at the end of a school day. And with 50 young men participating in the summer programming, snacks and meals are always a necessity!

Additional materials and ways to support Victory Project are available at: https://www.victoryproject.org/get-involved/.

Donations can be dropped off 1-7 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Victory Project, 409 Troy Street, Dayton.

Victory Project can also use mentors and chaperones any weekday afternoon or evening; administrative help on weekday afternoons or evenings, and volunteers for small businesses from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
