People Working Cooperatively (PWC), a nonprofit that provides professional critical home repair, weatherization, and accessibility modification services for neighbors living on low or fixed incomes in communities throughout Southwestern Ohio and Northern Kentucky, received seven grants in the first half of 2026 to help continue its mission.
The more than $368,000 awarded by various organizations will support PWC’s volunteer program, operational costs and its ability to provide repairs and modifications to keep homes safe and livable for residents.
The grants include:
• Anonymous awarded $300,000
• Episcopal Church of the Redeemer awarded $10,000
• The Integra Foundation awarded $3,000
• Interact for Health awarded $20,000
• Josephine S Russell Charitable Trust through PNC Charitable Trusts Grant Review Committee awarded $35,000
• The Andrew Jergens Foundation and SC Ministry Foundation awarded generous grants to support programming
“These generous grants do more than fund home repairs and volunteer programs – they restore dignity and safety for the neighbors who need us most,” said Chris Owens, Vice President of Development at PWC. “With this support, PWC can continue standing alongside local veterans, single parents, grandparents raising grandchildren, and neighbors living with disabilities. We are deeply thankful to these organizations for helping us build a stronger, safer community for generations to come.”
For more than 50 years, PWC has strengthened communities by providing critical home repair, weatherization, and modification services to help residents stay safely in their homes.
