Tis' the Season of Giving
Help support the children and families in our local communities.
Who We Are
PrimoCares is a charitable organization that was founded by executives at PrimoHoagies Franchising Inc. PrimoCares was created with fundamental goal to help children in need within the PrimoHoagies Franchise neighborhoods.
We are a completely volunteer organization. Our members include PrimoHoagies Corporate management, local franchisees and volunteers with absolutely no affiliation with PrimoHoagies.
Of course, none of this is possible without the support of our individual PrimoHoagies franchise owners. They are an integral part of the team and most of the programs that will be developed will be driven by the franchisee team members. Their desire to help children within their own communities is the heart and soul of our wonderful charity and we grateful and proud of their support.
Our Goals
First and foremost our goal is to return the maximum amount of money that is raised back to the children of need within the PrimoHoagies communities while maintaining our expenses at a bare minimum. It is extremely helpful that we are a completely volunteer organization and every charitable project will be designed and implemented with maximum return for the children as the ultimate goal.
What We Do
“The goal of Primo Cares will be to help as many children as possible throughout our communities. Our goal is to show our love for children and their families in their time of need. We hope to give financial and emotional support for families dealing with traumatic circumstances as well as provide smiles and inspiration to those that may be less fortunate.”
2025 PrimoCares
2025 PrimoCares: Giving Back More Than Ever
For the twelfth consecutive year, PrimoCares proudly partnered with the Delaware Valley Children’s Charity to bring holiday cheer to children in need across our communities. Through this annual initiative, each PrimoHoagies location was paired with a child, allowing teams to personally fulfill holiday wish lists and help make the season truly special. Donations were delivered by a dedicated PrimoHoagies truck to local schools and organizations, including C.B. Community School in Manayunk, St. Veronica’s in Philadelphia, and the Drueding Center in Kensington.
In addition, members of our team volunteered at St. Veronica Catholic School in North Philadelphia, where they served lunch to students during a festive visit from Santa Claus—complete with gifts and plenty of smiles.
This year, PrimoCares supported over 250 children, providing gifts to families in need while expanding the reach of the program through media partnerships with iHeartRadio, PHL17, and 6abc to help spread the word of holiday giving.
Beyond our efforts to support children, our corporate team also gave back to the community by volunteering at Homeward Bound Adoption Center, spending time with the animals and supporting adoption efforts. PrimoHoagies was proud to sponsor one week of large dog adoption fees in the week leading up to Christmas.
Each year from October through December, PrimoHoagies invites customers to participate in the “Round It Up” program, encouraging guests to round up their purchase total to support children in need. On Halloween weekend and the first weekend of December, PrimoHoagies matched customer donations, with all funds going directly toward fulfilling each child’s holiday wish list.
Through PrimoCares, we remain committed to making a meaningful impact—bringing joy, support, and hope to the communities we serve, year after year.
