(Plainfield, Ind.) - Duke Energy and its foundation are reaching out to communities affected by last week’s historic floods with more than $50,000 in emergency grants.
“Our line crews and support teams who worked to restore power saw firsthand the devastating impacts of last week’s storms and historic flooding on the Indiana cities and towns we serve,” said Duke Energy Indiana President Stan Pinegar. “We know the rebuilding process is just beginning and communities have immediate needs.”
The rapid response grants will support food assistance, storm cleanup and other immediate recovery needs in eight communities.
Locally, the Franklin County Community Foundation was awarded $10,000 to support flood recovery community needs.
The rapid response grants will support food assistance, storm cleanup and other immediate recovery needs. Grant recipients include: “Flooding can be incredibly disruptive and create lasting challenges for communities long after flood waters recede,” said Loree Elswick, president of the Duke Energy Foundation. “These grants will help local organizations provide assistance, support recovery efforts and address needs in our communities.”
