🎙️ A brand new episode of SPOTLIGHT 219 Sponsored by Horseshoe Casino Hammond is here! This week, we're highlighting the people and organizations working to make Northwest Indiana stronger—from answering growing needs in our community to feeding our neighbors and building a new fitness community right here in Crown Point. 🤝 Chris White, CEO of United Way of Northwest Indiana, joins us to talk about the impact of Day of Caring and how United Way continues to evolve to meet an even greater need across the Region. We discuss what's changing, where help is needed most, and how our community can get involved. 🍽️ Ryan Elinkowski, CEO of Meals on Wheels, shares how last week's storm impacted their day-to-day operations and their ability to serve those who depend on them. Ryan also tells us about a fundraising campaign launching tomorrow with the goal of providing 8,000 meals to people in need throughout our community. 🏋️ And we meet the owner of Pittstop Strength, a new barbell gym that opened in Crown Point this June! We talk about the idea behind Pittstop Strength, what makes a barbell gym different, and the community they're hoping to build in Northwest Indiana. It's an episode about community, service and strength—and three very different stories about people working to make an impact right here in the Region. Spotlight 219 is presented by The Times Media Company and Local 219. We explore what is happening around Northwest Indiana.
