Etz Chaim of Lombard Brings Generosity to the Table

Humanitarian Service Project would like to give a very special thanks to our friends at the Congregation Etz Chaim in Lombard. For the past 9 years, HSP has been the lucky recipient of the congregation’s annual Food Drive. The congregation runs this Food Drive every year to remind themselves of the importance of giving to those in need. This great support and help continued yesterday, when Jeff Marker an HSP volunteer, picked up 10 large Garbage Bags that were completely filled with boxes of Macaroni and Cheese from the Congregation Etz Chaim. These tasty donations will be distributed to the Needy Children enrolled in the Feed the Kids program during the upcoming summer months.

Feed the Kids is a Program that serves 100 families, or about 400 children, with 175lb boxes in each of the summer months June, July, and August. Each 175lb box includes:

• Fresh fruits & vegetables (15 varieties)
• Frozen meats (7)
• 3 loaves of Pepperidge Farm Bread
• And non-perishables (3-6 boxes).

These boxes are created to ensure that these Needy Children will receive the nutrition they need, even when school is not in session. Macaroni and Cheese is a great food donation because kids love it, it is simple to prepare, and of course it is deliciously filling. We again would like to thank the Congregation Etz Chaim and their continued support to help us serve the needs of needy families.
