United Way Executive Director Anita Stewart has been working with Dan Rhodes from Duke Energy who has reached out to United Way for Clinton County to help them provide support to their service areas.
What Duke Energy is doing is putting $500 to four different towns in Clinton County to go for specific things. Here is how this grant money is helping the following:
Mulberry – Helping with their Stone Soup Food Bank. They are seeing a higher number of people needed help and the $500 will go towards helping those in Mulberry with this need.
Kirklin – The $500 will go towards helping their widows in need. They monitor their widows and will reach out to those in need to provide them with food.
Rossville – The $500 will go to their local food bank which will continue to provide sack lunches for their Rossville students while they are out of school.
Michigantown – The $500 will go to their F.O.O.D bank to help their families in need in Forest, Scircleville, Hillisburg and Michigantown.
“A crisis like this can hit those with low and fixed incomes the hardest and that is why Duke Energy is working with Clinton County United Way on the frontlines of the COVID-19 emergency, helping with critical needs such as food,” said Duke Energy Manager, Dan Rhodes. “We are grateful for their efforts and want to do what we can to support them.”
