The Final Feed the Kids Distribution Day

Here at HSP, today brings about the last Distribution Day for our Feed the Kids program for the summer. The environment at our warehouse becomes extremely exciting all day as 100 families come to pick up their nutritious groceries that Feed the Kids provides. Each family will be receiving over 200 pounds of wholesome food that will sustain them throughout the summer as school is out and government free or subsidized meal programs are no longer available. The food these impoverished families receive includes an assortment of fruits and vegetables, a variety of frozen meats, Pepperidge Farm bread, and nonperishables.
            HSP cannot talk about the success of August’s Feed the Kids distribution without thanking all of the wonderful volunteers who helped make it all possible. We give a huge thank you to the DuPage Unitarian Universalist Church’s DUU-Gooders group, LaForce Inc., Young Men’s Service League, Joint Commission, and all of the individuals who came to support us today! Thanks to their help, we were able to successfully distribute food to the needy families who came to our warehouse.

            The end of today’s Distribution Day will signify the end of Feed the Kids 2014, which has been another successful summer of providing nutritious groceries to all of the enrolled families. Thank you again to all of the volunteers who contributed their time this summer because HSP could not have done it without you! If you would ever like to volunteer with or donate to the Humanitarian Service Project, please call us at (630) 221-8340 or email at hsp@humanitarianservice.org.
