In the heart of Solano County, the CarrieOn Foundation stands as a beacon of compassion and community spirit, dedicated to uplifting the lives of our unhoused neighbors. Founded in memory of Carrie Foley, whose legacy of generosity continues to inspire, the foundation embodies her unwavering commitment to serving those in need.
This year, the foundation launched the “Hearts for the Homeless” 2024 campaign, aiming to raise $15,000 to provide 250 CarrieOn bags filled with essential items for individuals experiencing homelessness in our community. Thanks to the heartfelt contributions of hundreds of individuals and the support of generous corporations, we achieved this goal by mid-November. Each $50 donation fills a CarrieOn bag with necessities such as socks, gloves, blankets, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and a few home-baked cookies—small comforts that bring warmth and smiles to those who receive them.
To express our gratitude, we hosted a “Bubbles & Thank You” event on December 2nd, where donors gathered to enjoy small bites, tiny desserts, and champagne. It was a joyous occasion, allowing us to personally thank our supporters and celebrate the collective effort that made the campaign a success.
However, the journey doesn’t end here. The need within our community persists, and we continue to seek your support. Your ongoing contributions enable us to extend our reach and provide more CarrieOn bags to those who need them most. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference in someone’s life.
In addition to the “Hearts for the Homeless” campaign, the CarrieOn Foundation organizes “CarrieOn Walking,” a benefit walk in honor of Carrie Foley. Scheduled for May 2024, this event combines physical activity with philanthropy, fostering a sense of community while raising funds to fill more CarrieOn bags. We invite you to participate, whether by walking with us or through sponsorship, to continue Carrie’s legacy of kindness and generosity.
Your involvement is crucial. By donating $50, you can fill a CarrieOn bag with essentials that provide comfort and dignity to an unhoused individual. These bags are more than just supplies; they are tokens of hope and reminders that our community cares. Please visit our website to contribute and learn more about our initiatives.
Together, we can carry on Carrie’s mission, spreading love and support to those who need it most. Your generosity lights the way toward a more compassionate and inclusive community.
