On Thursday, November 19, 2015, at 11:30am, NIPSCO employees will present The Rescue Mission with a $15,000 donation. The Rescue Mission was selected as the 2015 Charity of Choice by NIPSCO employees in northeast Indiana. Throughout the year, NIPSCO employees from Fort Wayne, Auburn and Angola have supported The Rescue Mission through volunteerism, fundraising, and a corporate match.

For just $5, the Mission is able to provide 3 nutritious meals for individuals in need. Participants are welcome to drop off their Skip A Lunch donations at Glenbrook or donate online at www.therescuemission.net.

Both the check presentation and Skip A Lunch, Feed A Bunch will take place in the retail space across from Barnes & Noble inside Glenbrook Mall. The media is welcome to attend, photo opportunities available.
