In August, NIPSCO employees participated in in-person volunteering events throughout northern Indiana to make a difference through the company’s 12th annual Charity of Choice campaign.
Charity of Choice is NIPSCO's employee-driven, company-wide effort to provide a significant contribution of volunteer efforts to benefit a variety of community causes across NIPSCO’s service territory. In partnership with the NiSource Charitable Foundation, founded by our parent company to help create strong and sustainable communities where employees and customers live and work, and Besa, an organization that helps connect people and companies with nonprofits, NIPSCO team members volunteered nearly 500 service hours to local organizations.
Organizations NIPSCO supported in the month of August include:
- Family Services Association of Howard County
- Little River Wetlands Project
- Food Bank of Northwest Indiana, Inc.
- Opportunity Enterprises
- Bridge of Grace Compassionate Ministries Center
- TradeWinds Services, Inc.
- Habitat for Humanity
- Hilltop Neighborhood House
- Challenger Learning Center of Northwest Indiana
- Wellspring Center
- The American Red Cross of Indiana
For the past two years, Charity of Choice raised funds through online events and donations due to pandemic safety requirements. In 2022, employees and leaders were excited to lend a helping hand in person.
“It was great to get out in the community and provide our collective time and resources to make a difference,” said Mike Hooper, NIPSCO president. “It’s so rewarding for our NIPSCO team members to roll their sleeves up and get to work for these organizations that need our support.”
