Thank You to Philadelphia Insurance

HSP would like to thank our friends at Philadelphia Insurance for a wonderful donation of party supplies for the kids enrolled in our Children’s Birthday Project. Last week the group donated 20 bags of party supplies that will be used to provide exciting birthdays to low-income children. We wish to thank them for their amazing support! 

Thank You to Water Quality Association

HSP would like to thank the employees of Water Quality Association in Lisle for collecting food, paper products, and school supplies for the seniors, children, and families served by our programs. Representatives from the group dropped off their donation last week. With HSP having just delivered over 27 tons of groceries to low-income families this summer through our Feed the Kids program, it is great to receive a wonderful drive like this to help us restock food for the seniors and families who rely on HSP for nutritional support!

Thank You Midwestern University Volunteers

Yesterday from 1-4pm, HSP hosted 9 students from Midwestern University’s School of Osteopathic Medicine. The students spent time in the warehouse sorting non-perishables and bread for our Senior Citizen Project. For the third year in a row, the university has made this volunteer event a part of their new student orientation. We would like to thank the students from Midwestern University for their hard work and wish them good luck in the new school year!

HSP Bids Adieu to Two Great Interns

This week, HSP has had to bid goodbye to two of the amazing members of our summer intern team, Mel Cherry and Kathleen Barry. These two have spent a majority of the summer making a huge impact in the lives of the seniors, children, and families enrolled in HSP’s programs, and we want to take the opportunity today to recognize their contributions.

Mel was the first summer intern to join HSP in May. Mel spent her time at HSP assisting us with a myriad of projects including communicating with our clients, spreading the word about HSP’s School Supply Drive, and much more.

Kathy spent her time at HSP helping us get our new “Wishes of Wisdom” program up and running. Through this new program, HSP has been able to further serve some of the seniors enrolled in our Senior Citizen Project by granting “wishes” for special items, or events, to enrich their lives.

Both Mel and Kathy have made their mark around HSP, and we will miss them both. Please join us in thanking them for all they did for the sake of the seniors, children, and families we serve.

HSP's Final Feed the Kids Day of Summer!

Today was an exciting day at HSP, as we held the final grocery distribution of our summertime Feed the Kids program. Today, 100 low-income families received a grocery package full of nutritious produce, frozen meat, bread, non-perishables, and other groceries! Throughout the summer, HSP has distributed approximately 27 tons of nutritious groceries to the families enrolled in our Feed the Kids program. We want to thank all of the volunteers who came and helped make this possible!

A Busy Day at HSP!

Today is a busy and exciting day at Humanitarian Service Project; we are preparing for our final Feed the Kids day and making our second school supply delivery! Throughout the summer, HSP has been collecting school supplies to give to DuPage and Kane counties for their Back to School fairs. This supply drive serves over 3,000 children in our community every year. We’ve received so many wonderful donations from organizations and individuals, and are extremely grateful for the generosity of our donors. 

HSP would also like to thank a group of regular volunteers from UPS. As long time supporters of HSP, they volunteer frequently to help us sort produce and other goods for our programs. Today they are volunteering their morning to sort produce for our final FTK food distribution day, which is tomorrow. Our 2016 Feed the Kids has been successful and impactful, and this wouldn’t be possible without the help of volunteers like UPS.

Thank You to Combined Insurance

HSP would like to thank Combined Insurance for creating and donating Party-In-a-Box kits for our Children’s Birthday Project. During ‘Bring Your Child to Work Day’, parents and children put together these boxes that will be distributed to children in need to help them have a happy birthday. Combined Insurance is affiliated with Chubb Insurance, a longtime supporter of HSP. We are very grateful for the generosity and continued support from these organizations!
