“We are proud of Edgewood’s history and we see ourselves as a pioneer just like Levi Strauss was in the 1850s,” said Matthew Madaus, LCSW, President and Chief Executive Officer of Edgewood. “If it weren’t for the visionary founders of Edgewood and the early supporters like Levi Strauss,

Edgewood wouldn’t be here today providing children and families throughout the Bay Area with innovative behavioral health services in a way that no other agency fully does. We are grateful for his forward thinking then, and are truly appreciative of our continued partnership today, more than 160 years later.”

Since Strauss’ original contribution, the company has continued to support Edgewood in a variety of ways including helping to provide sustainable denim insulation and an irrigation system for the Edgewood Garden Learning Center, providing pop-up shopping experiences for the children, matching employee gifts, and organizing countless Community Day projects over the years.
