PrimoHoagies Launches 13th Annual PrimoCares Campaign

As the holiday season approaches, PrimoHoagies is gearing up for its 13th annual PrimoCares initiative, a cherished program dedicated to bringing joy to families in the communities it serves. This year, the company is committing over $28,000 to fulfill the holiday wish lists of 140 local children, ensuring that the spirit of giving is very much alive this December.

A Tradition of Generosity

PrimoCares has become a symbol of holiday generosity in Philadelphia, where the brand has established a legacy of community support. Through various charitable efforts, PrimoHoagies aims to uplift families in need, making the holidays brighter for children and their families. Customers can join in on the cause by rounding up their purchases at participating locations or donating online through www.primocares.org.

Doubling the Impact with Matching Donations

This year marks an exciting development in the program, as PrimoHoagies has announced two special donation match weekends. Every dollar contributed during these weekends will be matched 100%, allowing guests to amplify the impact of their donations:

• - First Weekend: October 30 - November 1, 2026
• - Second Weekend: November 27 - November 29, 2026

These matching weekends provide an excellent opportunity for guests to double their support and help even more children and families experience the joy of the holidays.

Bringing Wishes to Life

In addition to fundraising efforts, the PrimoCares campaign extends directly into the communities it aims to support. Participating PrimoHoagies locations will use the funds raised to purchase gifts, including toys and clothing, fulfilling the holiday wish lists provided by local schools and community organizations. Notable partners this year include C.B. Community School in Manayunk, St. Veronica Catholic School in Philadelphia, and the Drueding Center in Kensington.

PrimoHoagies team members will also be making special deliveries across the Philadelphia region, bringing gifts and festive cheer directly to families. One highlighted event includes serving lunch to students at St. Veronica Catholic School, providing an opportunity for the brand to engage with the community and spread holiday cheer in person.

A Message from the CEO

Nicholas Papanier Jr., Owner, President, and CEO of PrimoHoagies, shared his insights on the holiday initiative, stating, _“Every child deserves to experience the joy and excitement of the holiday season. For 13 years, PrimoCares has given us a way to turn the generosity of our customers and team members into something tangible for local children. We’re proud to match our guests’ donations during PrimoCares match weekends to make every contribution go further and create an even greater impact for the families who need it most.”_
