Caruso Cares Launches Holiday Food Drive to Support Local Families in Need

Caruso Homes is proud to announce the launch of its annual Caruso Cares Holiday Food Drive, aimed at providing essential groceries to local food banks and ensuring families have access to nutritious meals during the holiday season. The food drive is currently underway and will run through December 23, 2024.

Caruso Cares, the philanthropic arm of Caruso Homes, brings together employees, trade partners, and community members to identify and address needs within the neighborhoods where Caruso builds homes. By collecting donations and offering services, Caruso Cares works to strengthen communities and improve lives.

“At Caruso Homes, we believe that building communities means more than constructing houses—it’s about fostering connections and making a positive impact,” said Jeff Caruso, Owner and CEO of Caruso Homes. “That’s why we created Caruso Cares, a reflection of our company values and commitment to giving back.”

This year’s food drive focuses on supporting families in Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, with all donations directly benefiting local food banks in these states.

Courtney Hutcheson, Chairwoman of Caruso Cares, expressed her optimism about the initiative: “Our team has been working tirelessly to spread the word and collect donations. With the continued support of our community, I’m confident we’ll meet and even surpass our goals.”
