## Resource

Catholic Charities in Northwest Indiana is mobilizing urgent aid for storm victims, covering food, insurance, home repairs, and rent/mortgage help — all backed by major donors like the Chicago Bears and local foundations. Meanwhile, Porter County’s Community Foundation received a $600K boost from NIPSCO to distribute emergency funds to 14 agencies. For seasonal work, INDOT is hiring snowplow operators in Gary and LaPorte starting at $21/hour. Locally, Dr. David Preskill joins Franciscan Physician Network, while Governor Mike Braun names new appointees to state boards including the Little Calumet River Basin Commission and Indiana Optometry Board — plus two new members to the Methodist Hospitals Foundation board.
