About Us
Universal Cares was born from Rob and Sam Yeary’s heartfelt commitment to supporting their local communities. While the Yeary’s have been quietly giving back and working on large projects since 2006, these efforts were formalized under the banner of “Good Works in the Community” in 2017 as a visible part of their lives.
As they expanded, their community service projects were later 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.
