As we reflect on 2025, we are reminded that building strong communities requires the same care and attention we give to the systems we design. At Loring Consulting Engineers, our commitment to service extends beyond blueprints and buildings, it’s about creating meaningful impact where it matters most, through acts of compassion, mentorship, and support that strengthen the foundation of our communities.
Promoting health and wellness has been a central focus of our efforts. Breast cancer awareness remains a cause close to our hearts, with employees uniting to support research, survivors, and families. This year, our teams in New York, Washington, D.C., and Maryland joined the American Cancer Society Breast Cancer Walk, while our Jamaica office participated in the Reach to Recovery Pink Run, standing alongside those affected by this disease. Additionally, our North Carolina staff took part in the American Heart Association Heart Walk, encouraging cardiovascular health and wellness within our communities.
Equally, we strive to uplift the next generation, creating moments of joy and pathways for success. Through the NYC Service Secret Snowflake Program, Loring’s employees help meet the needs of underprivileged youth, providing some comfort and joy during the holiday season. We also support youth through scholarships and mentorship programs with the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC), the ACE Mentor Program, Penn State University, and New York Institute of Technology, offering guidance and encouragement that help students interested in careers in engineering pursue their dreams. By combining immediate support with long-term guidance, our goal is to help youth feel supported, encouraged, and empowered to embrace the future.
Our commitment to community also extends to those facing basic needs. In New Jersey, our team volunteered at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, helping provide meals and comfort to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity.
Additionally, when Hurricane Melissa significantly impacted western Jamaica, Loring wanted to help in a meaningful way. The New York office organized a clothing drive, and our companywide Toy Drive is currently underway, with employees donating toys for the Christmas season to bring holiday cheer to children who have endured loss and disruption—acts of solidarity and compassion across borders.
Across every initiative, from health and education to humanitarian relief and holiday giving, the heart of our work is compassion. By stepping forward, we strengthen the communities around us, creating connections, hope, and lasting impact. At Loring, compassion is the foundation upon which we build—not just systems, but stronger, kinder, and more resilient communities.
