Harris Teeter Makes Community Connection with Jan’s Tutoring House
by Bill Rice
Barely two years into entering DC, the Harris Teeter supermarket chain is making its presence felt, not only to appreciative shoppers, but also to the broader community in the city, including at its Capitol Hill store at Pennsylvania and Potomac Avenues, SE. On Friday, this commitment was demonstrated with a $10,000 Harris Teeter check presented to Jan’s Tutoring House, the 21-year-old youth tutoring and mentoring program, nearby on Capitol Hill, founded by political and social activist Jan Eichhorn.
Councilmember Tommy Wells, a former chair of the JTH Board, accepted on behalf of the program. “We welcome this contribution for JTH and for Jan’s legacy,” he said. “Contributions like this, big and small, will make sure JTH thrives for another 20 years.” The Harris Teeter delegation was led by Regional Vice President Dan Marett, who said: “JTH is just the kind of community activity we want each of our stores to support.” Tonya Woods, the JTH executive director, welcomed the pledge of an on-going partnership. The event also featured a tour of the tutoring house by two youths who are in the JTH program.
