PLAINFIELD, Ind. — The Duke Energy Foundation is awarding more than $200,000 in grants to local food pantries and community organizations to feed Hoosier families in need. 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 Stan Pinegar, president of Duke Energy Indiana. “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.”
Among those receiving grants include:
- Anchor House (Jackson County) – $5,000
- Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana (Statewide) – $10,000
- United Way of Bartholomew County (Bartholomew County) – $12,000
