Volunteers get in the Christmas Spirit

Although we just entered the month of December, Christmas is in full swing here at HSP.  Today we had a volunteers come in from a variety of groups and organizations.  They graciously donated their time to help us prepare for our 35^th annual Christmas Offering doing a number of different tasks.

The group from Good Shepherd

            Three confirmation students and two parent chaperones, from Good Shepherd Methodist Church in Bartlett sorted non-perishable food packages for needy families served by our Christmas Offering.

            We also welcomed two volunteers from Rho Pi Phi, a service fraternity open to pharmaceutical students at Midwestern University, who helped us organize gifts.  This fraternity has made helping needy families by volunteering at HSP one of their holiday traditions and they certainly were in the Christmas spirit as they organized gifts for the needy children within our community.

The National Charity League group

            Five volunteers from the National Charity League (NCL), a mother-daughter service organization, took part in the holiday cheer here at HSP today, as well.  The NCL members spent their afternoon sorting food for the needy.  You can also be expecting to hear a lot more about the NCL as they will be helping us frequently this Christmas.

            We here at HSP would just like to thank all of the volunteers who generously donated their time and effort to helping make Christmas bright for the needy children and seniors in DuPage and Kane counties.  Merry Christmas!
