Tis the season of
giving…trees! December has begun, and so has the arrival of giving trees,
pouring in from our donors. The giving trees are the presents for the children in
the Christmas Offering. HSP is overwhelmed by the support and generosity of our
donors. Thanks to the donors, we were able to give presents to 1636 children
enrolled in the Christmas Offering in 2012. Even though the due date for
regular giving trees is Dec. 6th, we will gladly receive giving
trees for children on the waitlist until Dec. 13th. If you are
interested in donating giving trees for children on the waitlist, please call
us at 630-221-8340.
We are continuing to prepare for
the Christmas Offering, which is now only a couple weeks away. National Van
Lines has allowed us to use one of their trailers for extra storage space. We
are very thankful for their generosity which allows us to make room for all the
great toys that have been donated! Our faithful volunteers,
Dean Senne and Jeff Marker, have helped organize the giving trees that come in
and set up places to put them both in our shipping room and in the trailer.
