LAKE OSWEGO, OR, July 29, 2026 — Aldrich recently hosted its 18th annual Action Day, bringing employees together across seven volunteer sites to support nonprofit organizations in the communities where they live and work. As part of the firm’s longstanding commitment to giving back, Aldrich offices closed early for the day, allowing employees to volunteer with organizations addressing local needs.
“Action Day reflects our commitment to the communities where we live and work,” said Melissa Berndt, Partner – Chief People Officer + General Counsel. “It’s an opportunity for our people to strengthen connections while supporting organizations that make a lasting impact. We’re proud to invest our time and talents in the communities we call home.”
This year’s Action Day brought employees alongside organizations focused on food security, animal welfare, senior services, and sustainable transportation, with each office partnering with a local nonprofit to make a meaningful impact.
- In Salem, Oregon, employees volunteered at the Oregon Humane Society, Salem Campus, where they helped improve outdoor spaces for shelter dogs, created enrichment toys, toured the shelter, and spent time socializing with animals awaiting adoption.
- Employees from the Orange County, California office partnered with the Orange County Food Bank to assemble produce bags and food boxes that will help provide nutritious meals to individuals and families throughout the community.
- The Carlsbad, California and Mission Valley, California offices volunteered with the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank at two locations, helping prepare food for distribution to nonprofit partners serving neighbors experiencing food insecurity across the region. The Mission Valley office helped assemble 10,800 meals for those in need, while the Carlsbad office packed 12,524 pounds of fresh produce.
- In Lake Oswego, Oregon, approximately 90 employees volunteered with Reborn Bikes to repair and clean more than a trailer-load of bicycles, helping provide reliable transportation to community members in need.
- The Spokane, Washington office partnered with 2nd Harvest Inland Northwest to inspect and repackage donated food, helping pack 4,260 pounds of food for distribution through the region’s network of food banks and meal programs.
- In Alaska, a small group of employees volunteered with Wasilla Area Seniors, assisting with lunch service for local seniors and helping maintain outdoor spaces through gardening and landscape cleanup projects.
