Dollar Tree and Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia highlight nearby partnership
Summary
Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia and Dollar Tree celebrated a partnership at the new Hodges Ferry Road store ribbon-cutting, noting the store's proximity to the Portsmouth club and the potential to support youth through collaboration.
Adriana Rivera, who identified herself as chief development officer for Boys and Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia, thanked Dollar Tree for its investment and said the nearby location creates opportunities for young people. "Having this location so close to our Portsmouth club, which by the way, you could toss a stone," Rivera said, pointing to the practical proximity between the store and the club.
Rivera framed the partnership as part of a wider strategy in which businesses and nonprofits work together to strengthen communities. She told the audience that partnerships like this one "help make those opportunities possible, allowing young people to dream bigger, discover their strengths, and build the skills they need for their futures."
