School Supply Drive Time!

It is time for our annual school supply drive! As every year, we serve many needy children each summer and all the donated items are sent to the DuPage County Back-To-School Fair. This fair provides families living on low and reduced incomes to receive school supplies for the school year. We are looking for new school supplies so that we can give impoverished children the opportunity to succeed academically and allow them to feel more on the same level as their peers.

 Once all these items are collected, they will be distributed to schools with an 80% or more need.

            To make 2013 a success, we are endeavoring to supply over 4,000 children with school supplies that they will receive before the school year begins. We will be distributing as early as August 1^st and we will continue to provide school supplies to children well into the month of October.

            If you are interested in donating please contact us at 630-221-8340, email us at HSP@humanitarianservice.org, or come by our office in Carol Stream.
