Nonprofits across the state, including eight in northern and north-central Indiana, will benefit from grants from Duke Energy Foundation.
The funding, which totals more than $100,000 for organizations statewide, will help provide hunger relief and address other crucial community needs ahead of the holidays.
Locally, Grace Care Center Foundation of Hamilton County received $5,500 to purchase food distributed through the Choice Food Pantry and Mobile Choice Food Pantry.
