Help Us Provide Much Needed Items to Seniors!

HSP is currently in need of laundry detergent, dish soap, paper towels, and toilet paper for the low-income seniors enrolled in our Senior Citizen Project. Every month, along with nutritious groceries, HSP sends essential household item to help the seniors maintain cleanliness and a healthy lifestyle.  

If you would like to help HSP provide these much needed items for the deserving seniors we serve, please contact HSP at 630-221-8340 or email us at hsp@humanitarianservice.org.

Farewell to a Great Intern!

With summer almost here it is time to say farewell to HSP’s last remaining spring intern, Zach Miller. In his time at HSP, Zach worked directly with Floyd, HSP’s CFO/Co-founder, learning the ins and outs of accounting at a nonprofit. Zach will be finishing up his internship this week. We at HSP wish to thank Zach for all his help and wish him well as he continues in his education.

Birthday Boxes Delivered to Low-Income Children

Today, thanks to the help of our volunteers and supporters, HSP was able to deliver 19 Birthday Boxes to children at Carol Stream Head Start enrolled in our Children’s Birthday Project. These boxes are made up of gifts that have been generously donated by supporters like you. The gifts will be distributed to low-income children who are celebrating their birthdays this summer.  

Thank You for Helping to Stamp out Hunger

HSP would like to thank all of the volunteers who gave their time on Saturday afternoon to help us with the annual Stamp out Hunger food drive. There were dozens of volunteers who helped transport and sort the food we received through this annual event sponsored by the National Association of Letter Carriers. We wish to thank them, and everyone else who made the drive possible. All the food HSP received from the event will be distributed to local senior citizens and families in need.

Thank You to Two Fantastic Groups!

Today, HSP had two great volunteer groups spend their Friday with us. 

First we had a group of 10 from Aurora Christian School who spent several hours making packages of frozen meat for the low-income families who will be served by our summertime Feed the Kids program. This spectacular group volunteered as a part of the school’s annual “City Serve” event, in which the students spend the whole day giving back to the community. We’ve hosted students from Aurora Christian for the past few years for this event, and we are glad to have the opportunity to host them again.

The second group who graciously gave their time was a group of 5 from UPS Supply Chain Solutions. This group regularly volunteers on the day before our Senior Citizen Project “delivery days” to sort the fresh produce and bread that will be delivered to the 133 seniors we serve.

We wish to thank both of these groups for their support!

Help "Stamp out Hunger"

HSP would like to remind all of our supporters that this Saturday, May 14^th you can participate in the annual Stamp out Hunger food drive by leaving non-perishable food items by your mailbox. This annual event, run by the National Association of Letter Carriers, provides food for hundreds of organizations devoted to feeding the hungry throughout our nation, including HSP. All you need to do is set out a bag of non-perishable food by your mailbox for your mail carrier to pick up this Saturday, May 14^th. We encourage all of our friends to participate, and help feed our neighbors in need!

Thank You to UPS

HSP would like to recognize a group of 9 volunteers from UPS Customer Service Solutions for giving 2 hours of their time yesterday afternoon to sort non-perishable food for the 133 low-income seniors enrolled in the Senior Citizen Project. The group was very enthusiastic, and was a joy to have at our facility. With HSP delivering more than 6 tons of groceries to seniors through the Senior Citizen Project every month, we rely on the help of volunteers, like this great group from UPS. We thank them for their support!
