Duke Energy marks Veterans Day with nearly $50,000 in grants to support Hoosier veterans and their families New

Veterans Day

PLAINFIELD, Ind. – In honor of Veterans Day, the Duke Energy Foundation today announced nearly $50,000 in grants to 10 Indiana organizations that serve veterans and military families. The funding will support programs that honor Hoosier veterans and help them with transitional housing, mental health services and essential needs in communities across the state.

“Veterans embody service, leadership and commitment – qualities that strengthen our communities every day,” said Stan Pinegar, president of Duke Energy Indiana. “These grants are a token of our appreciation and a way to help local partners deliver the housing, counseling and basic needs that veterans and their families deserve.”

Grants were awarded to the following organizations:

  • Family Service Association of Howard County (Howard County) – $3,250

Funds will be used to revitalize the Peace Garden in Kokomo at Jackson Street Commons. The garden honors Pearl Harbor survivors, victims of internment and the 100th Infantry Battalion.

  • Huntington County Government (Huntington County) – $2,250

Funds will provide veterans with emergency financial assistance for things like urgent vehicle repairs or emergency roof repairs.

  • Irreverent Warriors (Knox County) – $5,500

Funds will support efforts to address mental health challenges facing veterans through peer connection, wellness-focused retreats and outreach programming.

  • Kaiser Home Support Services (Floyd County) – $5,500

Funds will support Liberty Place, a residential facility for veterans transitioning to civilian life.
