The Duke Energy Foundation is awarding more than $200,000 in grants to Indiana food pantries and community organizations to feed Hoosier families in need.
Locally, $25,000 will go to two Hamilton County organizations:
- Good Samaritan Network ($10,000)
- Westfield Washington Schools ($15,000)
The grants will support the purchase of canned goods, fresh produce and essential supplies to address food insecurity across the company’s Indiana service territory.
“Too many Hoosiers struggle with economic instability and food insecurity,” said Duke Energy Indiana President Stan Pinegar. “When people don’t have enough food to meet their needs or are uncertain of where their next meal might come from, it weighs heavily on families and communities. With these funds, we hope to curb the number of Indiana families experiencing hunger and support local organizations extending a helping hand to their neighbors in need.”
