The Merrillville-based NiSource Charitable Foundation and Northern Indiana Public Service Co. (NIPSCO) on Tuesday presented WorkOne and United Way Northwest Indiana with a $100,000 impact investment in United Way’s Mobile Services Unit.
The investment, according to United Way, will allow the mobile unit to support participants in its Level Up program across the organization’s five-county service area.
The Level Up program is designed to help individuals achieve financial stability through professional skills development, financial literacy workshops and personalized mentoring, according to United Way’s website.
“We are excited about this opportunity to foster growth and sustainability in Northwest Indiana,” United Way President and CEO Adam O’Doherty said in a news release. “The Mobile Services Unit is a testament to our commitment to the community.”
The organization said by the end of 2025, the Level Up program will have at least 1,000 graduates, each of whom will have increased their earning potential by an estimated $20,000 annually.
