Today Humanitarian
Service Project had the pleasure of hosting a group of ten volunteers from the School
of Expressive Arts and Learning in
Lisle. This group of eight students and their two teachers, spent over an hour
and a half this morning, sorting through paper products. The bags of paper
products made by this group will be delivered later this month, to the 121
needy senior citizens served by our Senior Citizen Project. The School
of Expressive Arts and Learning
goes to great lengths to stress the importance of volunteering to its students.
Students from the school regularly volunteer at non-profit organizations
throughout the community to help serve those in need. HSP previously hosted a
volunteer group from the school in December, who lent their support to our
annual Christmas Offering. We were happy to host this great group of volunteers
again, and are thankful for their continued support.
The paper products
sorted by the volunteers from the School
of Expressive Arts and Learning
will go to fulfill the needs of the impoverished seniors in our project. Every
month, as part of the 100 lb. grocery delivery they receive, HSP provides paper
towels, toilet paper, and facial tissue to the seniors. Delivering these
products enables the seniors to maintain the healthy and hygienic lifestyles
they deserve, but cannot afford because of their modest incomes. HSP wishes to
thank the School of Expressive Arts and Learning for playing a part in enabling
HSP to reach needy seniors with these products.
