In the spirit of gratitude and community, The Carver extends heartfelt appreciation to a local hero whose generosity significantly impacts this year's Thanksgiving festivities. Mr. Michael DiScala, President and Chief Executive Officer of M.F. DiScala & Company, Inc., Real Estate Investment Bankers, headquartered in Norwalk, has stepped up to the plate, quite literally, by donating a whopping 80 turkeys to Carver's annual Thanksgiving Food Drive!

Established in 1923, M.F. DiScala & Company boasts a rich portfolio, encompassing over 60 properties in 11 states and 23 cities. However, not just the numbers define Mr. DiScala; it's the heart behind his actions. A lifelong Norwalk resident, he has woven a tapestry of philanthropy and community engagement throughout the fabric of his life.

Mr. DiScala's commitment to community welfare is evident in his diverse affiliations. A former Trustee for the Norwalk YMCA, he is also a founding member of the SONO Cares Coalition, a group with a mission to end homelessness by providing crucial resources to those in need within the City of Norwalk. His involvement in the Norwalk Chamber of Commerce and the Norwalk Historical Society underscores a dedication to the growth and preservation of his local community.

Beyond the borders of Norwalk, Mr. DiScala's philanthropic footprint extends globally. He is a longtime supporter of CACLD, a contributing member of St. Matthew's Church, and a generous supporter of the Mercy and Sharing Orphanage in Haiti. Additionally, he lends his support to the Silver Lining Foundation in Aspen, Colorado, a camp specifically designed for children battling cancer.

A family man at heart, Mr. DiScala, along with his wife Donna, resides in Norwalk and is the proud parent of five children and grandparent to six. His commitment to family values is mirrored in his dedication to positively impacting the lives of those less fortunate.

As we gather around the Thanksgiving table this year, let's take a moment to reflect on the selfless acts of individuals like Mr. Michael DiScala, whose compassion knows no bounds. His generous donation of 80 turkeys is not just a contribution to our food drive; it's a reminder of the power we each hold to make a difference in the lives of those around us. The Carver is grateful for the support, and the community is more prosperous for individuals like Mr. DiScala, who lead by example.
