Thank You to Girl Scout Troop 910

HSP would like to send a huge “thank you” to the girls of local Girl Scout troop 910 who created and donated 30 “party in a bag kits” for the underprivileged children served by our Children’s Birthday Project. The girls dropped off these wonderful kits on Friday, and toured HSP’s Center to learn how the Children’s Birthday Project, and HSP’s other programs, touch the lives of those in need throughout our communities. We wish to thank these girls for such an amazing donation!

Happy Birthday Nancy!

Today HSP had the opportunity to celebrate the birthday of our volunteer outreach coordinator Nancy Dorsman. Nancy volunteers a great deal of her time every week to help spread the word about HSP in the community, so HSP staff took time today to celebrate her special day. Please join us in wishing Nancy a happy birthday!

Thank You to Ty Inc

HSP has some cute new faces around the office, this donation of Frizzys from Ty Inc. The company donated 800 of the Frizzys for the low-income children enrolled in our Children’s Birthday Project and other programs. We know these Frizzys will bring smiles to their faces. We wish to thank Ty Inc. for this incredible donation.

Serve with Liberty!

HSP would like to thank our friends from Liberty Mutual for volunteering at HSP as part of the Serve with Liberty event. Serve with Liberty is an annual program in which thousands of team members from Liberty Mutual volunteer for a number of worthy causes, including at HSP! We have been hosting volunteers for Serve with Liberty for five years, and they are always wonderful, enthusiastic groups. Today and on Tuesday, 2 separate groups of 9 volunteers from Liberty Mutual have given their time to box non-perishable food for the families in our Feed the Kids program, along with many other tasks! We wish to thank them for all their support!

Thanks to these Amazing Girl Scouts

Yesterday, HSP received a wonderful donation from Girl Scout Troop 4518. These girls conducted a book drive, collecting approximately 200 new books for the deserving children in our Children’s Birthday Project. HSP provides each of the 700+ underprivileged children enrolled in our program with 4-7 new books, so that they can have books of their very own. We want to thank the girls of Troop 4518 for helping to make this happen!

Secret Pals Needed for Low-Income Seniors

HSP currently has 9 seniors without “Secret Pals.” The Secret Pal program is part of HSP’s Senior Citizen Project, in which a volunteer “Secret Pal” donor buys a $5-$25 gift for a low-income senior each month. Secret pals provide these deserving seniors with items to make their lives easier and the knowledge they are loved and cared for. To sign up, please contact HSP: 630-221-8340 or hsp@humanitarianservice.org. To learn more about the program, check out HSP’s website: http://humanitarianservice.org/whatwedo/secretpals.html. 

Thank You to All of our Human Race Supporters!

We at the Humanitarian Service Project wish to thank everyone who represented us at the DuPage Human Race on Saturday, as well as everyone who donated to support our runners and walkers. It was a wonderful event, and it was great to see so many people (and pets) raising funds and spreading awareness for a number of worthy causes in DuPage.

There are still a few days to donate in support of our runner/walker team. 100% of the donations support the seniors, children, and families in HSP’s programs. You can donate at: https://runsignup.com/Race/Donate/IL/DownersGrove/DuPageHumanRace .
