One of our founding principles is to care for the communities that our restaurants serve.  We established the Carino’s Foundation in our first year of business.  Since inception in 1997, we have raised and donated over $2.4 million.

Carino’s Foundation focuses its efforts on organizations that positively impact the lives of children, from hunger relief to medical care and research. In addition, the foundation supports "Carino’s Cares", our direct action arm, which pursues community involvement and volunteerism at a local level. Through this program, employees at our roughly 135 locations across the country seek and create opportunities to help their communities through food drives, holiday toy drives, and charitable fundraisers. We’d like to formally recognize and thank these exceptional people for their efforts, while affirming our continued commitment to Food. Fire. Fun! …And Filanthropy.
