About Us
Universal Cares was born from Rob and Sam Yeary’s heartfelt commitment to supporting their local communities. Beginning in 2017, they formalized these philanthropic endeavors under the banner of “Good Works in the Community,” which demonstrated their unwavering dedication to Indiana neighborhoods. Despite being small business owners, they were fortunate enough to contribute to several initiatives annually.
As they expanded, their community service projects were now recognized under the umbrella of Universal Cares, perpetuating Rob and Sam’s mission of doing Good Works in the Community. In 2021, this program transitioned into Universal Cares Inc., an official 501c3 nonprofit.
As it stands today, the Universal Cares mission is to actively support Indiana communities as engaged citizens by connecting friends and neighbors through compassionate community service.
