On Friday, December 12, 2025, the LAEDA team had the opportunity to volunteer at Cradles to Crayons in Philadelphia, an organization dedicated to providing children in need with clothing, coats, boots, and other essential items. This amazing organization helps kids feel confident, cared for, and ready to thrive.

During our time at the Giving Factory, our team sorted through coats and jackets, organized donations, and helped prepare these essential items for children in the community. It was inspiring to see how something as simple as a coat can make a meaningful difference in a child’s life.

Giving back to the community is a core value at LAEDA. Volunteering allows us to make a positive impact where it matters most while reinforcing the importance of teamwork and collaboration. Experiences like this not only strengthen the bonds within our team but also remind us of the shared purpose we have in contributing to a better community.

At LAEDA, we know that success isn’t just about business growth—it’s about fostering connection, making a difference, and supporting one another. Volunteering at Cradles to Crayons gave us all a chance to see the real-world impact of service while building even more team spirit among our team.

As we return to our offices, workshops, and counseling sessions, we carry with us the joy of giving back and the reminder that when we support our community, we all grow together. Here’s to more shared experiences, teamwork, and giving back in 2026!
