Thank You, School of Expressive Arts and Learning


Today Humanitarian Service Project had the pleasure of hosting a group of ten volunteers from the School of Expressive Arts and Learning in Lisle. This group of eight students and their two teachers, spent over an hour and a half this morning, sorting through paper products. The bags of paper products made by this group will be delivered later this month, to the 121 needy senior citizens served by our Senior Citizen Project. The School of Expressive Arts and Learning goes to great lengths to stress the importance of volunteering to its students. Students from the school regularly volunteer at non-profit organizations throughout the community to help serve those in need. HSP previously hosted a volunteer group from the school in December, who lent their support to our annual Christmas Offering. We were happy to host this great group of volunteers again, and are thankful for their continued support.
The paper products sorted by the volunteers from the School of Expressive Arts and Learning will go to fulfill the needs of the impoverished seniors in our project. Every month, as part of the 100 lb. grocery delivery they receive, HSP provides paper towels, toilet paper, and facial tissue to the seniors. Delivering these products enables the seniors to maintain the healthy and hygienic lifestyles they deserve, but cannot afford because of their modest incomes. HSP wishes to thank the School of Expressive Arts and Learning for playing a part in enabling HSP to reach needy seniors with these products.
