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.
