A Truck Load of Food from Medinah Baptist Church!

Yesterday, Humanitarian Service Project received a large donation of food from the Medinah Baptist Church of Medinah, Illinois. The Church recently ran food drive and donated the collected food for the needy seniors we serve. The large donation filled up the whole back of a pick-up truck and the inside of a car, and ended up filling four whole pallets in the HSP warehouse! This large donation will be distributed to needy seniors enrolled in our Senior Citizen Program. Poverty brings challenges to all of those living under it, but the effects of poverty are intensified for seniors who have to deal with health issues and a lack the income to purchase enough groceries. These seniors don’t have access to regular healthy foods and rely on donations such as these to get the nutrition they need.

The food collected by the church was dropped off by Executive Director of Ministries Dean Scott and Director of Children's Ministry Dave Pearson from Medinah Baptist. HSP is very grateful for the hard work and dedication to all the people who participated in the food drive, as well as the generosity to those who donated food. Our organization relies on the donations of others and the hard work of volunteers. We at HSP, as well as the people we serve, are truly grateful for all the food that was donated and send out a big “Thanks You” to The Medinah Baptist Church for all their hard work.

Every month HSP distributes over 6 tons of groceries to 121 needy seniors. It is food drives, like this wonderful one from The Medinah Baptist Church, that allows HSP to continue to provide these life changing services to those in need.
