2025 Community Focus: Raise The Roof
At Carolina Handling, we believe everyone deserves a place to call home. In 2025, our philanthropic mission is Raise The Roof — a bold initiative to uplift individuals and families experiencing homelessness or housing instability across the Southeast.
Together, we’re raising more than just roofs. We’re raising hope, opportunity, and stronger communities for all.
