With the discussion of all the wonderful volunteer groups
we’ve hosted at HSP over the past week, who have helped us getting the ball
rolling for our Christmas Offering, we thought we would take this opportunity
to let all of our supporters know the many ways they can help HSP serve needy
families and senior citizens this Christmas. For our Christmas Offering, HSP
serves 150 needy families with three weeks worth of nutritious groceries, as
well as providing gifts for all 120 needy seniors in our project and all 875
children in our Children’s Birthday Project (plus their siblings up to age 15.)
With all of this going on at Christmas time, there are a number of ways for
people to help HSP reach out to these needy seniors and families over the
holidays.
One possibility is to sponsor a needy family in
the Christmas Offering, to help HSP provide them with groceries this holiday.
Families receive six boxes full of non-perishable food, 15 varieties of fresh
fruits and vegetables, 7 frozen meats, and all the fixings needed for a holiday
meal. A $60 donation sponsors a family in this program.
Another option is to provide one or more “giving tree(s)”
for needy children. Giving tree donors will receive the names and ages of needy
children alongside a list of suggested gift items for children of that age
group. Giving tree donors then buy and wrap a special gift for that child. We
are also looking for giving tree donors for the 120 needy seniors in our Senior
Citizen Project.
