Blue Hat Project

Community Impact Program


Lozano Smith's signature Blue Hat Project symbolizes our team's hands-on pledge and desire to engage in our communities. With involvement by more than 100 Lozano Smith employees, we have assembled school supply kits, volunteered on campuses and invested in our communities through partner projects. We are proud to be more than a law firm and give back in meaningful and inspiring ways.

 

School Supply and Hygiene Kit Assembly and Distribution


As part of Lozano Smith’s commitment to supporting students and school communities, more than 100 employees came together during the firm’s 2018 and 2019 annual training events to assemble essential kits for distribution. These efforts reflect the firm’s ongoing dedication to giving back and supporting the well-being of students statewide.

In 2018, the team packed 275 school supply kits that were delivered to districts across California, including:

  • Alisal Union School District
  • Hayward Unified School District
  • Salinas City Elementary School District
  • Sacramento City Unified School District
  • Washington Unified School District
  • Westside Union School District

Continuing the spirit of service, employees assembled more than 300 hygiene kits in 2019, which were distributed to educational agencies such as:

  • Elk Grove Unified School District
  • Fresno Unified School District
  • Hartnell Community College District
  • Kern High School District
  • Oakland Unified School District

Community Partnerships


Volunteering and forming local community partnerships is essential to advancing the mission of the Lozano Smith Foundation and our Blue Hat Project. As one way to symbolize our belief in hands-on involvement, each office was equipped with donations and an invite to serve a local organization, educational institution or public agency. Our team was thrilled to participate in a wide range of service projects, including:

  • Campus beautification
  • Serving meals
  • Distribution of school supply kits
  • Distribution of backpacks
  • Sorting fruit at a distribution center


The pledge was a symbol of what we believe in, and most important, who we believe in. We are grateful to the partnerships that were formed, including:

  • Majoree Mason Center
  • Central Valley Justice Coalition
  • Los Angeles Regional Food Bank
  • Skid Row Learning Center
  • Bay Area Crisis Nursery
  • Housing Community Solution Sea Side
  • Mustard Seed School

 
 

Giving Bins


You'll find a giving bin in the entrance of each Lozano Smith office. Most often, you'll find it full when a drive is taking place. Recently, each office partnered with local organizations as part of a blanket drive to help support a focus on homelessness. Lozano Smith was pleased to partner with several local agencies and deliver more than 100 blankets to various community organizations, including:


  • Poverello House
  • Good Shepard Center for Homeless Women
  • Father Joe's Villages
  • Winter Nights Family Shelter
  • Community Homeless Solutions
