HSP Salutes Redbox and National Charity League Volunteers

Today the Humanitarian Service Project had two groups of volunteers in our warehouse helping to sort food for the upcoming Feed the Kids and Senior Citizen Project distribution. One group was from Redbox sorting non-perishables. The second group was from the National Charity League sorting meats.

The first group that helped us was the Redbox division of Coinstar. Redbox brought 15 volunteers to sort non-perishables.  The Redbox employees started out sorting non-perishables for Feed the Kids.  When they were done with that, they moved on to sorting meats for the Senior Citizen Project. It was their first time volunteering at HSP’s warehouse. Redbox chose us because the company promotes volunteerism, and the local Carol Stream office came out to help. 
The second group, who volunteered with us today, National Charity League, spent their whole time sorting meats for the Senior Citizen Project. National Charity League is a mother-daughter organization that specializes in philanthropy and public service. There were 6 volunteers from the greater Naperville chapter of the National Charity League who came out to help us today.  According to Nicole Suchevits, the organization is the only mother-daughter philanthropy organization in the country. This is the second time that National Charity League volunteered with us this month.  Last week on May 30th, a group of 9 volunteered in the warehouse.  The National Charity League works with different non-profits that concentrate on community service. 

HSP would like to thank both the employees of Redbox and the women from the National Charity League for spending their afternoon today helping us with our upcoming distribution days for Feed the Kids and Senior Citizen Project.
