Super Care Kits from McDonald’s Working Mother’s Council

Humanitarian Service Project would like to take this opportunity to recognize the Working Mother’s Council of McDonald’s Corporation in Oak Brook, for the creating 30 Senior Care Kits for impoverished senior citizens. Throughout the summer, the group, comprised of McDonald’s corporate employees and their children, has been engaged in their annual “Helping Hands Summer Event,” in which they participate in projects to support local charities.

At their meeting last Friday, the moms and their children took personal care products they purchased and sorted out thirty bags for needy seniors. These great “Senior Care Kits” included shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap, toothpaste, floss, a toothbrush, and Chap Stick. HSP was represented at the meeting by intern Danielle Spence and Deb Jayson, a member of our volunteer speaker team. The two spoke to the group about the Senior Citizen Project and the important role the care kits they were making would have in fulfilling HSP’s goal to provide the needy seniors in the program a healthy lifestyle. We wish to thank the Working Mother’s Council for helping HSP support these seniors.

Each of the 122 impoverished seniors in the Senior Citizen Project receives a “Senior Care Kit” every three months, in addition to their normal 100 lb. delivery of nutritious groceries. These kits provide them with the hygiene products they desperately need. If you, like the Working Mother’s Council, would like to help HSP serve these very needy seniors, please consider making these kits or donating personal care items (conditioner and dental floss are particularly needed.)
