As the world continues to battle COVID-19, racial injustices, and a recession, it’s sometimes hard to remember the problems we faced pre-2020. For non-profits, though, pressing issues ranging from food insecurity and homelessness to Alzheimer’s research, deforestation, and suicide prevention remain top of mind. Even though such issues aren’t featured in today’s headlines, they’re still […]

Our fourth installment of our Green Getaway series takes us up the Delaware River to Pennypack Park – say that three times fast. The name of the park originates from the Lenni-Lenape Indians who once occupied this land for its accessible resources. If searched for, you can still find their arrowheads and stone tools!   […]

As the weather warms and the sun beams down, what is more fulfilling than reading a great book outdoors? Now that our city has gone green and we can once again relax at pools, parks, and beaches (always maintaining 6 feet of distance from others, please), it’s time to don that mask, grab a tome, […]

We would like to dedicate this first part of the series to Pride Month and to establishments we would typically frequent this time of year.   Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall Riots, brings recognition to the LGBTQIA community, and allows the community to celebrate themselves and loved ones in the most colorful ways possible.
