In all, Dollar General awarded $10,000 to area schools, nonprofits and literacy organizations to enhance and support youth literacy and education programs. These grant awards are part of more than $4 million in grants awarded today to approximately 870 schools, nonprofits and organizations throughout the 43 states Dollar General serves.
Aside from NCCC, $4,000 also went local to Literacy Empowerment Action Plan of Western New York in Tonawanda and another $2,000 went to Seneca Street Community Development Corporation in Buffalo.
