Fun and Fruitful Friday with US Foods

HSP finished this week on a high note with a volunteer group from the US Foods of Rosemont helping to sort food in the warehouse.  The 17 volunteers spent the afternoon sorting the season’s first boxes of non-perishables that will be distributed to the needy families and seniors served through our annual Christmas Offering. The also generously brought a donation of over 280 containers of cake mix and frosting, 150 hand crafted birthday cards, and additional party items for the sake of the impoverished children in our Children’s Birthday Project.


            For the 35th year in a row, HSP will be providing local, needy families and seniors with groceries through the Christmas Offering.  During the month of December, more than 14 tons of groceries will be distributed to 150 families and 123 seniors as part of the Offering. 
            HSP is very grateful for the contribution the US Foods volunteers made today.  The Christmas Offering is our largest undertaking of the year that would not be possible without the help of our many volunteers!  If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information about our Christmas Offering visit our website at www.humanitarianservice.org or email us at hsp@humanitarianservice.org.
