With the March Delivery Day to the
needy seniors in our Senior Citizen Project just a week and a half away, the
HSP office has been receiving a number of visits from a group who help us make
these deliveries special; our “secret pals.” Each “secret pal” is a donor who
provides a small gift to one of the 123 impoverished seniors in our program
each month. These gifts range from between $5 - $25 and generally consist of
items the seniors need (like laundry detergent, dish soap, light bulbs, etc.)
or fun gifts to brighten the senior’s days (like books, gift cards, puzzles,
etc.)
Every month, we at HSP are
delighted to see all the wonderful and thoughtful gifts the secret pals bring
in to help us reach out to the needy seniors in our program, and wish to thank
them so much for their generosity. The seniors in our program certainly echo
our gratitude. Recently one of our seniors called HSP asking us to send a
message to her secret pal saying, “I want you to know how much I truly
appreciate your lovely gifts. Your generosity has warmed my heart, and you such
a giving and wonderful person!”
Currently we have nine seniors who
are without secret pals. If bringing smiles and joy to a needy senior through
this program seems like something you’d be interested in, please contact HSP at
630-221-8340.
