Earlier this week, a van full of birthday boxes for the
needy children with October birthdays
Lake Park
Elementary was delivered from our center in Carol Stream
to the school. HSP is very happy to be partnered with Lake Park Elementary as
we know the need there is so great. 88% of students qualify for free or
subsidized lunches. Earlier this year HSP was able to adopt all of these needy
children into our Children’s Birthday Project. Each child in the Children’s
Birthday Project Birthday Box includes a 20-25 pound package containing 4-10
toys, 5-7 books, numerous smaller “filler gifts,” school supplies, and all of
the supplies necessary to hold a memorable birthday party.
HSP would like to thank volunteer Steve Stasiak, who
volunteered his to make this delivery to Lake Park Elementary, in order to help
us make these children’s (birth)days!
In addition to the boxes, HSP was also able to donate
upwards of 24 boxes of Pepperidge Farm bread to Lake Park Elementary. This bread
will be distributed to needy families with children at the school.
