PLAINFIELD, Ind. — Summer temperatures often mean Hoosiers are looking for ways to beat the heat and Duke Energy is working with local nonprofit agencies to distribute critical relief for residents in need.
The Duke Energy Foundation is contributing more than $90,000 to 15 Indiana organizations to help purchase fans for older adults and low-income households.
“Indiana summers can be extremely hot, with August bringing some of the warmest days of the year,” said Stan Pinegar, president of Duke Energy Indiana. “A simple fan can make a difference in avoiding heat-related illnesses and provide our senior and low-income customers with some comfort when temperatures rise.”
Grants were awarded to the following local organizations:
- Johnson County Senior Services – $5,000
- Interchurch Food Pantry of Johnson County – $1,000
- Good Samaritan Network – $5,000
