PrimoCares Brings Holiday Joy for the Tenth Year in 2023 Partnership with Delaware Valley Children’s Charity

For the tenth consecutive year, PrimoCares has partnered with Delaware Valley Children’s Charity to bring holiday cheer to children in need. Through this initiative, PrimoCares assigns each PrimoHoagies store to a child, dedicating their efforts to make the holiday season memorable for them. Donations are then delivered to local schools and organizations in need, such as C.B. Community School in Manayunk and the Drueding Center in Kensington, by a dedicated PrimoHoagies delivery truck.

Our team also volunteered at St. Veronica Catholic School in North Philadelphia in December of 2023, serving lunch to the children as Santa Claus made a special visit.

“At PrimoHoagies, we believe in more than just great food—we believe in the power of giving back to the communities that support us,” said Nicholas Papanier, Jr., Owner, President, and CEO. “Through PrimoCares, we are proud to invest in the well-being of our neighborhoods, working together to make a positive impact where it matters most. This year, we're excited to continue our tradition of caring and making a difference, one hoagie and one act of kindness at a time.”

Each year, from October through the first Thursday in December, PrimoHoagies invites customers to participate in the “Round it Up” program, encouraging donations to support children in need. During Halloween weekend, PrimoHoagies matches these contributions, which are used to fulfill each child's holiday wish list.
