On October 2, 2024, seven (7) volunteers from Zebra Technologies spent the day giving back by building a memorial garden at a home owned by Options for Community Living, Inc. The project was coordinated by United Way of Long Island, bringing together Zebra Technologies and Options for a meaningful day of service and team building.
Options provides safe and affordable housing for individuals and families in over 160 homes across Long Island. The individuals served by Options face chronic illnesses and disabilities and often come from challenging circumstances. Most have low incomes and may have a history of homelessness or have been at risk of homelessness. Through affordable supportive housing and connections to healthcare services, entitlements, and community resources, Options fosters stability, safety, independence, and improved health outcomes.
The Zebra Technologies team worked tirelessly to build a beautiful memorial garden, complete with a bench, where residents can reflect and find peace. They planted perennial flowers, cleaned up the yard, and trimmed greenery around the fence, making the space more welcoming and vibrant. This initiative highlights Zebra Technologies’ commitment to making a positive impact in the communities where their employees live and work.
“Options is grateful to the United Way of Long Island for making this connection on our behalf and for the team from Zebra Technologies for their time,” said Options’ CEO, Yolanda Robano-Gross. “The garden is beautiful,” continued Robano-Gross. “Projects like these really make a difference to our residents and to us.”
