September Delivery Day-Help Needed


It feels like just yesterday that the mercury was flirting with the triple digits, and to head outside without sunscreen for more than twenty minutes would have been risky, but, believe it or not, we are already almost half way through September. As the early days of the month start to disappear, we at the Humanitarian Service Project become very busy preparing for our monthly Delivery Day to the seniors in our Senior Citizen Project. Every month, HSP provides all of the seniors in the project with 90 pounds of groceries which include fresh produce, several different types of meats, grains, non-perishables, personal care items and several other things. Providing this for the seniors is quite a large task, and would not be possible without our large corps of volunteers that do a number of things, such as, sorting food, packing cars, and delivering to the seniors, not to mention all of those who donate food to make the project a reality. We would like to thank all of those who have volunteered or donated to make our monthly Delivery Days successful in the past.

Delivery Day for this month is this Saturday, September 17th, and we are currently looking for 2 more drivers to deliver the groceries to our seniors. Each driver would have a route to two seniors’ homes to drop off the groceries at. The two routes that are still without drivers both deliver to two seniors in Aurora. Drivers start at the Humanitarian Service Project in Carol Stream where their cars are loaded with the groceries. Maps to the seniors’ homes are provided to the drivers. If you would be interested in helping, please call HSP at 630-221-8340. If you are new to us, we ask for two professional references. We thank all of those that help in our endeavor to help those in need!
