Just as the big blizzard was about to hit last week, Anne Henriksen, an HSP volunteer, pulled in with a carload of donations. Last Monday, Anne had gone to St. Joseph’s Youth Ministry Group in Downers Grove on behalf of HSP. While she was there, the youth group put together 40 party-in-a-bag kits for the Children’s Birthday Project. Anne explained to the youth group all the services HSP provides to children and seniors, and let them know how their kits would help brighten a needy child’s birthday.
A party-in-a-bag kit is put into each child’s birthday box so that, along with gifts, the family can have a celebration. The kits contain items such as cake mix, frosting, party hats, streamers, birthday candles, invitations, balloons, plastic forks, paper plates, and napkins.
Thanks to Anne for helping HSP with numerous speaking engagements, and for delivering the kits. We also thank St. Joseph’s Youth Ministry Group for the kits and for their donated time in putting together the kits. Thanks to all involved!
