With severe winter weather and frigid temperatures spread across parts of Duke Energy’s Indiana service territory, the Duke Energy Foundation is awarding $55,000 in rapid response grants to 21 organizations to help communities withstand storm impacts and sustained cold temperatures this weekend and into next week.
Locally, Good Samaritan Network has received $2,500 in funds to assist with clients’ requests for heat support, heating equipment, and temporary relocation.

“While our crews work out in the field, we want to make sure our fellow first responders and community support systems are also cared for,” Duke Energy Indiana President Stan Pinegar said. “We’re glad to be able to support organizations across the state that are doing great work for Indiana’s communities every day, and particularly during this storm.”
