This holiday season marks NIPSCO’s 11th annual Hope for the Holidays campaign, which combines donations from both the company and its employees to benefit various community- serving organizations across northern Indiana.

The Hope for the Holidays campaign has become a beloved tradition at NIPSCO, with employees eagerly participating year after year. It’s a testament to the company’s commitment to making a positive impact in the communities it serves.

As part of the effort, NIPSCO employees donated more than 1,000 toys to eight Toys for Tots organizations located throughout the NIPSCO service area.

Counties supported include:

• Allen, Adams, DeKalb, Huntington, Noble, Steuben and Wells

• Elkhart County

• Lake County

• LaPorte County

• Miami, Cass, Howard, Fulton, Wabash, Grant and Tipton

• North Lake Co. (Gary, Hammond, East Chicago, Whiting)

• Porter, Starke and Jasper

• St. Joseph County

NIPSCO’s contribution towards the Toys for Tots program is just one of the many initiatives the company

has undertaken this holiday season. Recently, the organization gifted 200 bags filled with toiletries and other supplies to Gabriel’s Horn of Porter County and the Crisis Center of Lake County. In addition, NIPSCO has been teaming up with various non-profit organizations and programs throughout northern Indiana to donate employee volunteer hours and/or more than $150,000 in company and employee donations.

The community partnerships include Miami County's Helping Hands among other agencies.

NIPSCO has been able to provide food, clothes and toys to families who otherwise might not have had items these available this holiday season.
