Every month the
Humanitarian Service Project distributes over six tons of groceries to 121
needy seniors enrolled in the Senior Citizen Project. Each senior is provided
with over 100 lbs of groceries. Seniors are given an assortment of food
including a variety of frozen meats, vegetables, fresh fruits, paper products,
and items for personal care. On May 17th, 2013 volunteers from
Kohl’s (Wheaton) and Sabre Holdings came to help sort bread, produce, and
canned goods to help the Humanitarian Service Project sort the large amount of
food provided by the National Association of Letter Carriers annual Stamp Out
Hunger food drive.
The Chicago
employees of Sabre Holdings provided ten volunteers for the morning shift and
eight volunteers for the afternoon hours. Sabre holdings is a global technology
company that provides services for people all around the world to plan, book
and get to their destination for an appropriate price and time. The volunteers
from Sabre Holdings came prepared to work diligently. The employees of the
Humanitarian Service Project had the chance to work with the volunteers from
Sabre Holdings. We noticed that they were kind, fun individuals looking to give
back to the community.
The other group of
volunteers came from Kohl’s department store in Wheaton ,
Illinois . Kohl’s of Wheaton
regularly sends volunteers to help us here at the Humanitarian Service Project.
As always the volunteers from Kohl’s worked hard and brought good attitudes to
the Humanitarian Service Project. The five volunteers helped sort produce for
our delivery day tomorrow for the seniors of DuPage
County .
The Humanitarian
Service Project wants to thank the volunteers of both Kohl’s and Sabre Holdings
for their hard work so that we may provide much needed groceries to the
impoverished seniors in our Senior Citizen Project. If you are interested in donating or
