Caring Chronicles

Fort Washington, PA - Cosmo Cares is excited to launch a tree planting project in partnership with the Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown Pa. The tree planting is timed on Earth Day an annual celebration honoring the achievements of the environmental movement and raising awareness of the importance of long-term ecological sustainability. Planting trees helps the environment in many ways including: producing oxygen, reducing stress, building homes for wildlife, quieting noise pollution, creating beauty, cooling the environment and many others.

 We are so grateful to the Cosmo Cares Foundation for their support of our tree planting initiative. Thanks to their generosity, the zoo will be planting roughly two dozen trees both in and around animal enclosures. Not only will the plantings serve to further beautify the zoo, the tree species selected will provide new areas of shade, scent enrichment for our animals, and in the case of our giraffes, branches and leaves to eat, stated Executive Director & CEO of Elmwood Park Zoo, Al Zone.

Natalie, Cosmo and I are so excited to celebrate Earth Day by doing our part to protect the environment and wildlife. It was especially gratifying to get our hands dirty while planting, stated program Director and Zoo Board member Morgan DeNicola.

New York, NY - It is with great pride that HDI congratulates Congresswoman March L. Fudge (D-OH) on her swearing-in as the 18^th U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Secretary Fudge was a long-time member of HDI’s Congressional Advisory Board and participated in HDI programs at the United Nations, the United Arab Republic, and Sudan.  HDI looks forward to consulting Secretary Fudge’s Office in designing new HDI programs to further HDI’s mission.

Fort Washington, PA - Clothes, personal items and hygiene products are sometimes a burden for the homeless. These things cannot be left outside because they can be easily stolen or ruined. In efforts to provide a means of warmth during the winter months and something to carry their personal items in, the Cosmo Cares team created a Duffel Bag Kit. The Duffel Bag Kit comprised of a blanket, vinyl pillow, umbrella, ear buds and hygiene products. The Duffle Bags were delivered to Bethesda Project’s Our Brothers Place located in center city.

Bethesda Project serves 1,400 individuals experiencing homelessness each year at 16 sites throughout Philadelphia. Any help is greatly appreciated during this pandemic. They accept donations of money, food, clothing and also have an Amazon Wish List. They are accepting cooked food delivered to their sites as well. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner for the people that stay there. Most of their financial resources have been utilized during COVID. They have to pay for a cleaning company to come to their locations everyday to disinfect.

“So, join our Cosmo Cares team by donating to people who need our help, stated Natalie Scarantino Sadler, Project Manager. Our World needs more Compassion and Kindness.”
