Birthday Boxes For Needy Children at Lake Park Elementary

          Yesterday, HSP delivered more birthday boxes to impoverished children at Lake Park Elementary School in Addison. HSP has partnered with Lake Park Elementary to reach the school’s neediest children for a year and a half now. Many of the school’s students live in families who suffer from extreme poverty; about 90% of the students at Lake Park qualify to receive subsidized lunches. HSP is happy to help these very deserving children by providing them with birthday boxes through the Children’s Birthday Project.

            Our faithful volunteer, Jeff Marker, delivered the 12 boxes to the school for the students who had October birthdays. Each box was filled with 6-10 toys and games, 6 books, school supplies, stuffed animals, and party supplies. The boxes give these needy children gifts that they might not otherwise receive and make their birthdays special and memorable.

            HSP like to thank Jeff for volunteering to drive to Lake Park, and all our volunteers and donors who have made it possible for us to reach these wonderful children.
