Yesterday, HSP was happy to send off twelve Birthday Boxes for
the needy children at Two Rivers Head Start in west Aurora. The children who
will receive the boxes birthdays are in August and September. Periodically, the
boxes for children enrolled in the school are picked up in order to ensure that
they have a fantastic birthday!
Our relationship began
with Two Rivers Head Start earlier this year due to the fact that they have
high rates of low income families. There are a high percentage of families of
students enrolled in Two Rivers that have a total household income within 125%
of the national poverty level. Because of the high need in the area, HSP has
adopted more than 50 needy children in the school. HSP adopted children that are turning 4 or 5 into
the program this past year. This relationship has allowed us to reach more
needy children in the far reaches of DuPage and Kane County than we ever could
before.
We are very grateful that we
are able to continue to support children in the local community through our
Children’s Birthday Project and other projects. We wish to thank all of our supporters for
allowing us to make birthdays special for these children in need .If you would
like to sponsor a child at $54 a year, call our office at 630-221-8340. |
