School of Expressive Arts & Learning Students Volunteer for Senior Citizen Project

Today HSP was fortunate to have students from the School of Expressive Arts and Learning in Lombard volunteering in our warehouse.  The group of students spent their time sorting meat for our Senior Citizen Project in preparation for the September 14^th delivery day.  They worked bundling packs of 3 poultry, 2 beef and 2 pork products to deliver to each needy senior.  These meat packages are part of the 100lb. grocery deliver the seniors receive each month, which also includes fresh fruits and vegetables, non-perishables, Pepperidge Farm bread, and paper products. 

            The school aims to prepare its students for life after high school and tries to expose them to as many career paths as possible, which is why they are always looking for different volunteer programs to become involved in.  Students from the school have volunteered for HSP several times and by doing so, the school hopes to instill in them the importance of community involvement and teach them valuable skills that will help them after they graduate.  

            HSP is extremely grateful for the work the students completed to help us prepare for the upcoming delivery day.  With over 6 tons of groceries to be prepared for our monthly delivery, HSP is always grateful for the help of volunteers like the students from the School of Expressive Arts & Learning.  If you or your group is interested in helping HSP give us a call at (630)221-8340 email us at hsp@humanitarianservice.org to find out more information.
