MERRILLVILLE — This week, NIPSCO celebrated the successful completion of a holiday giving campaign, resulting in more than $125,000 in monetary donations and hundreds of items for service-related agencies across the utility’s 30-county footprint.

Employee-led initiatives included food and toy drives and fund-raising bake sales and gift wrapping – all aimed at helping families in need.

“Because of our employees’ creativity and generosity, we were able to support a number of worthy causes this holiday season,” said Larry Graham, managing director of public affairs for NIPSCO. “Our goal is to reach as many families as possible across our service area.”
