Wish Granted!


Humanitarian Service Project would greatly like to thank an extremely kind woman, Gail Hudgins, for going above and beyond granting 5 of our needy senior’s wishes. This past Friday, Gail donated 5 grocery carts to 5 of the seniors in our Senior Citizen Project. These carts had just been placed on the Senior Citizen’s Wish List and without hesitation Gail fulfilled those wishes. This was such a sensational surprise for these seniors not only because the carts are so useful but because of how quickly they received them. Tish Jensen, Gail’s sister who is also no stranger to HSP, dropped off the grocery carts this past Friday, and they were delivered the very next day! It had worked out perfectly that this Saturday was our scheduled monthly delivery day for the seniors. These shopping carts will surely make life easier, especially since some seniors have mobility problems and have difficulty carrying their belongings. Donations like this really go such a long way, so another big thanks to Gail Hudgins from HSP!

If you are looking to donate, any donation, whether big or small equals a big help.  Some of the items most often requested by the seniors are food processors, microwaves, coffee pots, toasters, bathroom towels, electric blankets, and small area rugs. If you only have a couple of dollars to spare other great donations include detergent, stamps, and rolls of quarters. If you would like to donate any of these items please contact us at (630)-221-8340 or by email HSP@humanitarianservice.org.
