❋
Giving Back to the Place that Built Us
Our Commitment 
Generosity is a family habit
From the very beginning, our family has believed that a successful business has a responsibility to the community that supports it. Every company under the Chehata Family Holdings umbrella contributes — through dollars, through time, and through the trucks, water, and people we put on the ground when neighbors need help.
Our giving focuses on the issues we see firsthand in South Florida: food insecurity, youth opportunity, affordable housing, disaster recovery, and supporting the veterans and families who hold our community together.
“You don’t build a name in this community without giving something back to it.”
