On May 21, 2010 commensurate with our company and individual values Walden has celebrated its 15th anniversary with a day of service. This year 13 staff members worked with North Shore Land Alliance to remove brush and clean trails in its Fox Hollow Preserve in Laurel Hollow allowing Walden staff to give back to the local environmental while having a great day of team building out of the office.

June 1st, 2009 marked the opening of the Walden East office in East Moriches, NY. From this office Walden can take advantage of the growing labor pool, and be more accessible to clients and their needs in Suffolk County. Ms. Kristin Scroope will be heading up Walden's projects managed from this office.

To celebrate Walden's 14 th anniversary Walden Associates (an environmental engineering and consulting company located in Oyster Bay) volunteered their time at a Long Island Cares event, the National Letter Carriers Food Drive. Saturday, May 9, 2009 was the National Letter Carriers Food Drive. 735,000 pounds of food were donated on Long Island during this event. On Monday, May 11 , 2009 the office offered their time to package the donated food for distribution to various agencies.

Long Island Cares is Long Island's first food bank and one of the region's most comprehensive hunger action organizations. It was founded by Harry Chapin in 1980 and provides food and support services for member agencies including food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, child care programs, disability organizations, veterans' services and others. They distribute nearly 6 million pounds of food a year. To learn more about LI Cares you can go to www.licares.org.

To celebrate its 13th year in business, Walden Associates helped build a house for Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk County. Walden Associates is an environmental engineering and consulting company located in Oyster Bay. On June 19, 2008, the office donated their time to hang sheetrock inside the East Patchogue house destined for a single mom with two sets of twin sons.

Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk has built 120 houses since 1987, housing over 450 adults and children. Habitat is currently building in Patchogue, Bellport, Coram, and Wyandanch with the majority of their labor being done by volunteers. This allows them to keep down costs, and in the end, help more families. Local statistics show that more than 500 single and double income families are currently living in shelters in Suffolk and need a simple, decent, affordable place to live. Habitat strives to eliminate poverty housing by giving hard working families a hand-up NOT a hand-out. For more information you can go to www.habitatsuffolk.org.
