Raleigh, NC – November 11, 2024 – L&E Research, a leader in market research recruitment, proudly upholds its core value of “Giving Back to the Community” through both workplace initiatives and local community involvement. Many L&E employees actively volunteer at soup kitchens, foster animals, assist in youth programs, and support their neighbors in various ways. Additionally, charitable donations have been made to numerous organizations at both local and national levels, exemplifying the spirit of using resources, skills, and services to empower others.
In line with this commitment, L&E Research donated $10,000 to the Veterans Life Center (VLC), an organization close to the heart of CEO Brett Watkins. “At L&E, we believe in making a meaningful impact on our community, and supporting VLC allows us to honor and assist those who have served our country,” stated Watkins. Instead of holiday client gifts, L&E has chosen to support VLC year after year, reinforcing their dedication to meaningful community impact.
The Veterans Life Center provides essential support to homeless and at-risk veterans, aiding their reintegration into civilian life. The organization addresses challenges such as physical and mental trauma, relationship upheaval, employment difficulties, financial strain, and substance abuse. VLC’s comprehensive programs and services offer veterans the opportunity to rebuild their lives and regain independence and self-sufficiency.
Donations from organizations like L&E Research are crucial in maintaining VLC’s facility and programs. The center, equipped with 50 sleeping rooms, offers a safe and clean living environment for veterans. It is staffed by over 30 employees, including healthcare professionals who provide medical and behavioral health services. Daily counseling, life skills training, vocational education, and mentoring programs foster both personal and professional growth. VLC is also expanding its operations to assist more veterans and aims to serve as a model for similar programs nationwide.
For those interested in supporting VLC, the organization’s website provides instructions on how to donate online, by phone, or by mail. Additionally, local volunteers are welcome to apply and contribute their time and skills to this worthy cause.
L&E Research encourages everyone to give back, whether through donations to VLC or other organizations, or by engaging in local community activities. The essence of giving back lies in empathy, compassion, and a commitment to improving our communities for all.
The efforts of the Veterans Life Center, coupled with contributions from donors like L&E Research, are instrumental in creating better outcomes for veterans. Together, we can make a significant difference.
