Local Real Estate Associations Unite to Honor Carrie Foley and Kickstart the “Hearts for Homeless” Campaign
In a heartfelt act of generosity and community spirit, the Northern Solano Association of REALTORS® (NSCAR) and the Solano Association of REALTORS® (SAOR) came together to donate $1,500 each to the CarrieOn Foundation, launching the second annual “Hearts for Homeless” campaign. Their combined donation of $3,000 will fill 60 CarrieOn bags, providing vital necessities for the homeless in Solano County and carrying on the legacy of a remarkable woman: Carrie Foley.
Honoring Carrie Foley: A Legacy of Leadership and Compassion
Carrie Foley was more than a real estate professional—she was a leader, a mentor, and a shining light in the Solano County community. As a REALTOR® and manager of one of the most successful RE/MAX Gold offices in the region, Carrie exemplified integrity, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to service. Her ability to inspire others extended far beyond her professional achievements; she was a dedicated advocate for her community, always finding ways to uplift those around her.
The CarrieOn Foundation was established to honor her memory and continue her tradition of giving back. Through initiatives like “Hearts for Homeless,” the foundation reflects Carrie’s belief in the power of compassion and her desire to make a difference in the lives of others.
Real Estate Associations Leading by Example
NSCAR and SAOR’s donations mark the second year these associations have rallied behind the “Hearts for Homeless” campaign, demonstrating the profound impact real estate professionals can have on their communities. The funds raised will fill 60 CarrieOn bags with essentials such as socks, gloves, blankets, hygiene items, and homemade cookies—small comforts that provide hope and dignity to individuals experiencing homelessness.
This partnership holds special meaning because Carrie Foley was an active member of both associations. Her colleagues remember her as a dynamic leader who not only set the standard for excellence in real estate but also fostered a culture of care and community engagement.
“Carrie was more than a colleague; she was a friend and an inspiration,” said a representative from NSCAR. “We’re proud to honor her memory by supporting the foundation that bears her name and upholds her values.”
A Tradition of Giving
The “Hearts for Homeless” campaign exemplifies the foundation’s mission to carry on Carrie’s legacy through meaningful acts of service. Last year’s inaugural campaign set the tone for what has become a cherished tradition, uniting volunteers, donors, and community members in a shared effort to support those in need.
The impact of these donations extends beyond the tangible items in each bag. It’s about fostering human connection and showing individuals experiencing homelessness that they are not forgotten. As Carrie believed, even the smallest gestures of kindness can have a ripple effect, inspiring others to do the same.
A Call to Action
The generosity of NSCAR and SAOR serves as a powerful reminder of what can be accomplished when a community comes together with a shared purpose. But the need for support continues, and the foundation invites everyone to join in this mission.
Every $50 donation funds one CarrieOn bag, filled with necessities and topped with homemade cookies that bring warmth and smiles to recipients and givers alike. To contribute or learn more about the foundation’s initiatives, visit carrieon.org.
Carrying on Carrie’s Legacy
As the “Hearts for Homeless” campaign gains momentum, it’s clear that Carrie Foley’s legacy lives on—not only in the lives she touched directly but also in the acts of kindness inspired by her memory. Her commitment to service, her dedication to her community, and her belief in the power of compassion continue to guide the work of the CarrieOn Foundation.
This holiday season, let’s honor Carrie’s life by coming together to support those in need. Whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, each of us has the power to make a difference. Together, we can carry on Carrie’s vision of a community built on care and compassion.
