3. Spreading Holiday Cheer: L&E Research’s…
!
This holiday season, L&E Research celebrated with a heartwarming tradition—giving back to our communities. Our offices in Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus, Denver, New York, Orlando, Raleigh, and Tampa came together in the spirit of giving by hosting donation drives at their holiday parties, spreading joy and generosity to those in need.
Each office hosted its own drive, gathering everything from toys to non-perishable food items, helping local organizations make the season brighter for families and individuals in need. It’s always a special moment when our teams can contribute to causes that matter to our neighbors, reinforcing the spirit of giving.
Even though we’re mostly remote, our team finds meaningful ways to connect, collaborate, and give back. Whether it’s through virtual events or in-person gatherings like these donation drives, we continue to nurture our sense of community and shared purpose.
A big thank you to our incredible staff for making these drives such a success and to everyone who donated. We are proud to support the following organizations this holiday season:
* **Charlotte:** Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina
* **Chicago:** Catholic Charities Saint Sabina Church & The Greater Chicago Food Depository Food Bank of Chicago
* **Cincinnati**: The Willows Project
* **Columbus**: Broad Street Food Pantry
* **Denver:** Food Bank of the Rockies
* **New York**: Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital (special shoutout to our New York office for collecting **72 toys** for the hospital!)
* **Orlando:** One Heart for Women and Children
* **Raleigh**: Women’s Center of Wake County
* **Tampa**: Community Food Pantry and Fridge
At L&E Research, we’re reminded that the holiday season isn’t just about celebrating with colleagues, but also about making a positive impact in the communities where we live and work.
Wishing everyone a joyous holiday season filled with warmth, kindness, and gratitude!
