Wheaton Academy, a local high school, spent time with us at HSP today helping us get ready for the senior delivery
day this upcoming Saturday. The
students, who are fresh from holiday break, are taking part in “Winterim”;
which is a two-week period of personal enlightenment verses the traditional
high school classes. In this time, the students choose an occupational field
and look into, understand what it is, and how to become involved in that field. These students volunteered at HSP to learn more about service projects and
non-profits. The students have named
their Winterim experience as Project Least and it brings focus to serving the
people around you.

The students today, helped
with arranging different types of bread, sorting food, and organizing areas for
produce to be sorted later this week. Commenting
on the experience Kearsten Karrick, the Project Leader, explained, “The
students have dedicated their time to learn about how to become more involved
in the community. One aim of our project is to introduce the students to places
they may want to volunteer in the future.”
The students have committed to service beyond HSP, as they look to have a coat drive for the needy at
their school in upcoming weeks.
HSP wishes to extend thanks to Wheaton Academy for their time today at HSP, and encourage them and our supporters to continue
to volunteer. Senior delivery Day is quickly approaching, and volunteers for
this week will be contributing to our Delivery Day on Saturday. If you are looking for ways to help you can visit our website at Humanitarianservice.org or give
