Divine Savior Donates Food for Needy Seniors and Families

          Today HSP received a wonderful donation of food from Divine Savior Parish. The church, located in Downers Grove, collects food every month to donate to the needy in the community. HSP is a recipient of their generous food drives every other month.
            This month, the donated food completely filled the car of HSP volunteer and Divine Savior member Rich Patera. The food we received this month will be used in our monthly grocery deliveries to needy seniors in the Senior Citizen Project. All 123 seniors in the program receive over 100 lbs of groceries each month, including non-perishables, fruits, vegetables, meat, and bread. Food from this month’s donation will also be given to the impoverished families in the Christmas Offering this December. Food drives like these are essential to the success of both the Senior Citizen Project and the Christmas Offering.
          Divine Savior has been one of our biggest supporters for decades! Their consistent donations and continued support have been a huge blessing to all the needy seniors and families that we serve. If you are interested in holding a food drive for HSP, please give us a call at 630-221-8340 or follow the link to view the food drive flyer on our website: http://humanitarianservice.org/getinvolved/fooddrive.html
