Summer of Giving Back at Edelstein

As we begin to welcome fall here at Edelstein, we’d like to reflect back on a fun-filled summer.  We engaged in many community service activities, ranging from in-office creative projects to out of office volunteering opportunities.  Many of these events are made possible through our affiliation with Building Impact, an organization we’re proud to work closely with on our service initiatives.

Below, we’ve highlighted our service activities by month.  Each is unique and has given us the opportunity to touch many different communities in need.  We’re proud to say that community service and giving back are woven into our firm’s fabric and we look forward to our upcoming events.

August 11- Creating motivation signs for people at Heading Home: Heading home serves hundreds of local families, generally made up of single mothers and children.  Their shelters provide families with a safe, temporary home where they receive the necessary support in order to work towards permanent housing.  We shared quotes and phrases to help motivate and encourage their residents and the signs are displayed at their shelters.
