Employees Giving Back
Every year, NIPSCO and NiSource employees roll up their sleeves to donate blood, collect warm winter clothing, school supplies, nonperishable food and toys for local charities.
To support this charitable effort, NIPSCO and the NiSource Charitable Foundation offer dozens of group volunteer opportunities each year. These events include community beautification projects, stocking food pantries, delivering meals, planting native species for pollinators and wildlife and serving our veterans.
