Dubois REC has announced their next round of Operation Round-Up grant recipients.
Northeast Dubois Intermediate School received a $1,000 grant to help fund a physical education program for students between third and sixth grades.
The Habitat for Humanity in Dubois County was awarded a $2,000 grant to help with installing electricity for a home being built through the Habitat for Humanity Program.
The Jefferson Township Fire Department received a $1,100 grant to replace the drafting mechanisms for all of their engines. This piece of equipment allows crews to connect to a hydrant or draft water from a portable tank. The current fitting being used is a storz type. These will be replaced with threaded fitting that should perform better than the current fittings.
