Christmas Preparations at HSP

Tis the season of giving…trees! December has begun, and so has the arrival of giving trees, pouring in from our donors. The giving trees are the presents for the children in the Christmas Offering. HSP is overwhelmed by the support and generosity of our donors. Thanks to the donors, we were able to give presents to 1636 children enrolled in the Christmas Offering in 2012. Even though the due date for regular giving trees is Dec. 6th, we will gladly receive giving trees for children on the waitlist until Dec. 13th. If you are interested in donating giving trees for children on the waitlist, please call us at 630-221-8340. 
We are continuing to prepare for the Christmas Offering, which is now only a couple weeks away. National Van Lines has allowed us to use one of their trailers for extra storage space. We are very thankful for their generosity which allows us to make room for all the great toys that have been donated! Our faithful volunteers, Dean Senne and Jeff Marker, have helped organize the giving trees that come in and set up places to put them both in our shipping room and in the trailer.
