Kindness Brings Comfort

Humanitarian Service Project would like to send a heart felt thank you to FT Cares, the charitable wing of the Wheaton financial services firm First Trust. FT Cares donated a considerable amount of household items for our seniors in the Senior Citizen Project that will definitely be put to good use. Lisa Weier, an employee of First Trust and a representative of the foundation, dropped off a bundle of brand new items such as pillows, several nice microfleece blankets, towels, silverware, and 2 coffee makers.

Lisa was also nice enough to sit down with us and let us know more about FT Cares. Lisa told us that First Trust has been engaged in supporting the needy of the community for quite some time, and now that FT Cares has recently gained 501(c) 3 charitable status, they are finding new ways to serve those in need. We at HSP are very happy to learn of a new group devoted to providing relief for the needy.

Again, we wish to thank FT Cares for their very thoughtful donation. The cozy items they have provided will certainly allow the needy seniors in our program to live more comfortably. There are many items that these seniors could use in their lives to help make their lives easier, but they simply cannot afford them. If you, like FT Cares, would like to help provide for the needs of seniors in this way, some of the most requested items by the seniors include food processors, microwaves, toasters, electric blankets, and small area rugs. If you have an item you’d like to donate, please call HSP at 630-221-8340.
