As I sit down to write this summary of 2015, I am touched by the generosity of our donors and the willingness to give of time and resources by so many individuals who make up our volunteer base.
This past summer, Carasmark was able to touch the lives of 1,200 students by giving each one a backpack filled with school supplies for the start of the 2015-2016 school year. Many of these backpacks were packed by volunteers from The Barn Vineyard Church’s youth group in Landenberg, PA and the New Rochelle High School National Honor Society. This year, the Backpack Project was sponsored in part by Strong Insurance Agency, Chris & Sara Fraser, Serenity Software & The Delaware Kids Directory.
Through The Food Project, we were able to provide 36 families with a bag filled with food staples. We look forward to growing this project more in 2016.
Finally, with donations received late in 2015, Carasmark will be able to launch its newest program- The Book Project- which will provide books to elementary students with the goal of fostering a love of reading from a young age.
My family and I look forward to serving our community more through Carasmark in 2016. Happy New Year!

We had another great year thanks to the support and generosity of our wonderful donors and volunteers!
In August, 2014, Carasmark was able to distribute over 1,100 backpacks filled with school supplies to children in need in 11 different elementary schools in Delaware and NYC.
We were also able to provide delicious meals to 930 people. Some of the monthly menu items included baked chicken with oats and cheese, meatball subs, baked ziti and a full Thanksgiving dinner for 12 families in November.
Carasmark will be holding a summer theatre camp this year to raise funds for The Backpack Project. Camp will take place at Linden Hill Elementary school from June 16-20.
Join us for a fabulous evening to help raise money for a great cause. There will be music, dancing, a silent auction, door prizes, raffle baskets, hors d’oeuvres, desserts and a cash bar.
