The Madden-Richie has embarked on another project.  Last month the foundation, started by Nicole Richie and partner Joel Madden, created a gift registry for mother’s in need.  The couple, parents to 8-month-old Harlow Winter Madden, plan to build a playground at  Beyond Shelter.  Beyond Shelter is a low income housing facility that helps “combat chronic poverty, welfare dependency and homelessness among families with children, through the provision of housing and social services and the promotion of systemic change.” Currently the 175 children who live there have no place to play.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden announced Monday a text-messaging effort with MySpace to benefit their Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation.

To donate $5 text CHILD to 90999. The money will be charged on your bill the following month and donated to the foundation.

“We think there should be a playground on the concrete slab you’re sitting on,” Madden said to a crown that gathered for Marble Slab ice-cream and the announcement. “It’s bigger than building a playground, but this is an exciting start. And I’ll come play on it.”
