Duke Energy donates $10K to New Hanover County Community Justice Center

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY-TV) – The New Hanover County Community Justice Center received a major donation from Duke Energy on Tuesday.

The CJC opened in November 2024 at The Harrelson Center in Wilmington. The center serves victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking and other crimes.

Duke Energy donated $10,000 to the center on Tuesday during a Rotary Club of Wilmington meeting.

Former district attorney and CEO of the CJC, Ben David said this money will make a difference for grieving children who have witnessed a crime.

“A 100% of any of the giving from the community to the CJC goes to the survivors of violence we serve, doesn’t go to our operations, does not go to any salaries or anything else it goes straight to the people we serve,” David said.

David said the $10,000 will help send children to “Camp Hope,” a closed recreational site with programs for kids impacted by trauma.
