This from inkfreenews.com: PLAINFIELD, IN – The Duke Energy Foundation is contributing a total of $207,000 in shareholder-funded grants to organizations across the company’s Indiana service territory to support hunger relief efforts.
This includes seven grants for nonprofits in north central Indiana.
As colder weather and the holidays approach, many Hoosier families turn to assistance programs that help support those facing hunger. However, those programs are facing challenges of their own to support this tremendous need.
These local organizations are receiving grants from Duke Energy Foundation:
- Food Finders Food Bank, serving Howard and Fulton Counties – $4,250 for mobile food pantries
- Food Finders Food Bank, serving Cass, Fulton, Howard, Miami and Tipton Counties – $6,000 for mobile food pantries
- Macy Community Boosters, serving Fulton and Miami Counties – $2,500 for food and hygiene items at pantry, as well as weekend meals for students
- Living Well in Wabash County Council on Aging – $5,000 for its Community Cupboard Pantry
As of Nov. 6, the $207,000 grant adds up to $311,000 in total funding over the year for hunger relief and other basic needs in Indiana’s communities.
“These organizations are consistently there for Hoosiers when hardships arise,” said Stan Pinegar, President of Duke Energy Indiana. “There’s often an increased need for their services during the holiday season, and we’re grateful to collaborate with them and boost their positive impact on our local communities.”
