Real estate development and hospitality group Caruso will hold second annual “Caruso Cares: A Day of Service” to support charitable initiatives across Los Angeles on Oct. 11. Caruso’s corporate offices close for the day, and Rick Caruso, owner and developer of The Grove, along with his employees, commit time to philanthropic organizations.

The group will partner with the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters to refurbish a classroom at St. Lawrence of Brindisi School and will beautify the Calabasas area affected by last year’s wildfires with TreePeople.

Caruso will also work on projects with students at Thomas Edison Elementary in Glendale and landscape and provide lunch for first responders at Los Angeles County Fire Station #110.

Additional activities will be held at the Pan Pacific Senior Center and Hancock Park Elementary School, as well as PATH West L.A. and  the Lakes at Thousand Oaks. For information, visit caruso.com.
