Scout’s Honor

Humanitarian Service Project would like to issue a huge thank you to Eagle Scout Sean Perez of Scout Troop #351. Sean decided that for his Eagle Scout Project he would run a drive collecting paper towels, Kleenex, and toilet paper and donate it to HSP. Sean is certainly a very motivated scout, because he collected a truly staggering amount of paper products that will go to the needy seniors in our Senior Citizen Project. Sean and several members of his family, including his mom Michelle and sister Amber, had to come by the HSP office three times yesterday afternoon to drop off the paper products he had collected in multiple trucks and vans each time. In total Sean managed to collect an astronomical 679 boxes of Kleenex and 1440 and 3312 rolls of paper towels and toilet paper respectively. We at HSP were excited by how much Sean had managed to collect!

Sean collected all of the paper products by seeking donations from his neighbors, family, and the Jewel in Carol Stream. Sean surprised himself with how successful his project was, “I thought it would be less,” he said. Sean’s mother Michelle was very proud of her son, and very surprised at the how generous everyone was! Still, she said she was “happy to get everything out of the house.” It is a wonder they managed to even fit it into a house because, when all was said and done, the HSP warehouse was a lot less roomy. We at Humanitarian Service Project would again like to thank Sean, his family, and everyone else who assisted Sean in the project. We are happily stunned by such a large donation, which we will be able to get directly to those who really need it. If you would like to make a donation big or small (or, as in Sean’s case, humongous) please call the Humanitarian Service Project at 630-221-8340 to see if we could use it to help someone in need.
