How UCAN works
We do not do the work ourselves. We make sure the right people find each other.
Through volunteers, businesses, organizations, and community partners, neighbors are connected with people who may choose to offer yard clean-up, basic home maintenance, housekeeping, and other home-related help. A simple verification process confirms each request first.
01
Ask for help
A neighbor, caregiver, or friend submits a request describing the need.
02
We verify
UCAN uses a simple verification process before anyone is connected to the network.
03
We connect
Volunteers, businesses, and partners who choose to help are introduced to the neighbor.
About UCAN
A grassroots network, not a church — and not a handout.

- Verify every request before connecting the referral network

Let’s make a difference together.
Whether you need a hand, can give a Saturday, or want to fund the network — LaPorte County is stronger undivided.
