In today's society there is now a demand for, what is known as, Corporate Social Responsibility. Societal expectations, in general, feel that profitable companies should be ethically obligated to give back to the community, employee, global, and environmental causes.

The term Corporate Social Responsibility embodies the spirit of companies reinvesting in their workforces, communities, and the world. Many companies have championed the Corporate Social Responsibility movement within their own corporate structure.

At Orangutan Home Services, as successful members of the community, we embrace the spirit of Corporate Social Responsibility.

Upon learning of a recent theft of an air-conditioning unit at Helen's Hope Chest, the Mesa United Way's program for foster children, Orangutan Home Services stepped up to provide and install a new $10,000 AC unit thus giving back to a program that gives back to the community. Helen’s Hope Chest provides a much needed program for foster children, providing items such as clothing, books and shoes that are donated by the public and corporations.

As an avid supporter of the Phoenix Zoo, we work to help endangered species like the Orangutan. By providing school children and adults a way to experience exotic wildlife up close is an example of the caring and thoughtful manner in which the Orangutan’s state of the art habitat was designed.

The Phoenix Zoo is a huge educational and inspirational asset to our community. Our commitment with the Phoenix Zoo is about educating the public about the importance of wildlife and wild places. It is evident in the humane and nurturing manner in which the wildlife is cared for, exhibited and promoted as ambassadors for endangered species throughout the world.

At Orangutan Home Services we are proud to show our support for this amazing community asset and as a special offer, for anyone that visits the Phoenix Zoo; you will receive a rebate of $35 on an Air Conditioning system tune-up, regularly priced at $49.

Tempe HVAC Service Contractor replaces AC unit stolen from Mesa foster care program

Gas prices and Valley graduations are stories you expect to see in the in
the paper. Mathew Blades of MIX 96.9’s morning show was shocked to find a
headline reading “Mesa foster kids program gets air conditioning unit
stolen” on
azcentral.com. According to the article, “thieves apparently
hopped an iron fence over the weekend to steal the air conditioning unit at
Helen's Hope Chest, the Mesa United Way's program for foster children.”

Blades said, “I hate stories like this, I mean how are you going to steal
from people that are just trying to help out those less fortunate?

Out of frustration, Blades took it to the airwaves, “how can someone steal
from charity?” Within minutes the MIX 96.9 phone lines lit up with offers
from www.oservice.com
”>Orangutan Home Services and Sun Devil Plumbing. Both companies went straight to Mesa’s United Way to inspect the damage.

Richard James, Director of Finance at United Way, informed MIX 96.9 that
Orangutan had a contract in hand and the total cost to United Way read $0!
The new $10,000 unit will be installed Wednesday, as well as a new
thermostat and Orangutan will also be building a steel fence around it so
the new one can’t be taken.
It’s great to see that there are good people in the world, willing to take
advantage of the resources they have at hand.
