Hendricks Power and Operation Round Up Support Community

Hendricks Power is proud to announce recent contributions that strengthen families, youth programs, and community spaces throughout its service area.

As part of its ongoing commitment to community well-being, Hendricks Power donated $2,000 to Project ANGEL of Hendricks County. Project ANGEL provides essential holiday assistance to families in need, including food baskets, warm clothing, and holiday gifts for children. This donation will help ensure that local families can enjoy a joyful holiday season, despite financial hardships.

Through its Operation Round Up program, funded by voluntary donations from Hendricks Power members who “round up” their monthly utility bills, Hendricks Power also contributed $3,000 to the Cascade Fire Cadet Program. This program introduces students in 7th-12th grade to firefighting and emergency medical services (EMS), combining hands-on training, mentorship from local firefighters, and educational opportunities. The program not only prepares young people for potential careers in public safety but also teaches leadership, teamwork, and community responsibility.

Operation Round Up also donated $2,000 to the B&O Trail Association. These funds will support landscaping and beautification efforts around the recently paved and improved parking lot at the Tilden Trailhead on County Road 500 East. This investment enhances the trail experience for residents and visitors, encouraging more outdoor activity and enjoyment of local recreational spaces.

“Hendricks Power is proud to support programs that strengthen our community, provide meaningful opportunities for youth, and enhance local spaces for everyone to enjoy,” said Heather Thompson, Director of Human Resources and Marketing at Hendricks Power. “From helping families have a brighter holiday season to investing in youth education and local recreation, these contributions reflect our ongoing commitment to making our community a better place for all.”
