Our Story
Carver Financial Services was founded with the vision of making people's lives better. Since 1990, we have donated more than 600,000 meals and $448,000 to those in need, locally. Your support in this effort has been amazing. In 2022, we formally launched the New Beginning Initiative, which is focused on permanently eliminating hunger and homelessness in Lake County by helping individuals who want to help themselves.
The New Beginning Initiative is working to eliminate hunger and homelessness while improving the lives of those who want to help themselves by working In Lake County. The focus is on those who are working to help themselves rather than asking for public assistance. This ambitious project will serve as a proof of concept for other places in the United States. While there are programs to support those who choose to not work or cannot work, this effort is solely focused on helping those who want to have gainful employment. We are doing so by addressing the four largest challenges - affordable childcare, transportation, marketable skills and affordable housing.
This is a collaborative effort between several non-profit organizations, local government and local business. The initiative formally launched in June of 2022, with initial programs to help folks with car repairs, gas, transportation and childcare. There are several ways that you can help. If you know of someone who wants to work but is having a challenge with transportation or childcare please direct them to the folks below. If you know of an employer looking for good employees, you can reach out as well. You can also donate either cash or assets; in the case of the later you can avoid the capital gains on appreciation and get a tax write-off. We are happy to assist with charitable donations that can benefit you and also this initiative!
For employers, you can submit jobs to Lake County Jobs by using the button below.
