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.
Why it matters: As colder weather and the holidays approach, many Hoosier families turn to assistance programs that help support those facing hunger. But those programs are facing challenges of their own to support this tremendous need.
Bottom line: These seven organizations in north central Indiana are receiving grants from Duke Energy Foundation:
• Community Harvest Food Bank, serving Huntington County and Wells counties– $5,000 for mobile food pantry and weekend meals for local students
• 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
• United With Love, Huntington County – $8,000 for community food pantry
• 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
• Family Service Association of Howard County – $5,000 to purchase food for domestic violence victims living in organization’s shelter
The announcement of $207,000 adds up to $311,000 in total funding over the year for hunger relief and other basic needs in Indiana’s communities.
“In 2024 alone, we served more than 11,000 meals to 430 adults and children fleeing abuse and seeking safety,” said Angie Ciski, executive director, Family Service Association of Howard County. “This tremendous support from Duke Energy will help us continue to support victims of domestic violence in our community.”
