Alden Cares is our community outreach program, reflecting our commitment to the people and organizations that make our communities stronger.
On December 5, 2019, the Boys & Girls Club of West Springfield received a $5,000 gift from Alden Medical to purchase new Chromebooks and install STEAM software. This technology gives young people direct access to tools and materials that help prepare them for adult life and postsecondary education.
Alden Medical employees came together to help make Christmas a little merrier for local children. The whole team gathered games, bicycles, dolls, and other toys to donate to Toys for Tots, helping put extra smiles on children’s faces during the holidays.
In October 2016, Alden Medical was honored to receive the Community Partnership Award from the Boys & Girls Club of West Springfield in recognition of its ongoing efforts to make a positive difference in the lives of local youth and families. To further this partnership, Alden Medical donated an additional $10,000 to the club.

When fundraising by the West Springfield Partnership for Education surpassed $5,000, Alden Medical helped celebrate the milestone with a matching donation of $5,000 in September 2016.

Alden Medical employees went above and beyond in December, donating toys, games, dolls, and even a bicycle to a Toys for Tots collection in West Springfield. Their generosity helped bring holiday cheer to children throughout the area.
The reach of Alden Cares has extended overseas. Supplies including underwear, school uniforms, and backpacks were donated to Escuela El Cajuil Macao, a school in an underserved area of the Dominican Republic.
The school provides essential education for students ranging from pre-primary children to adults taking remedial reading courses. The enthusiasm and gratitude of the teachers and students made this a life-changing experience.
The West Springfield Partnership for Education received a $5,000 Alden Cares grant to enhance education for students in West Springfield schools. As part of the gift, Alden Medical also challenged the partnership to raise $10,000 to receive an additional $10,000 donation.
The event was featured in the West Springfield Record.
