Farewell to Friends

This week, we were sad to say goodbye to two wonderful members of our intern team. We are extremely grateful to these two outgoing interns, Patricia and Lydia, for their hard work and dedicated service and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors.

The first intern to finish up her internship this week was Patricia Arenz. She was involved with several different projects at HSP, primarily lending her talents assisting community outreach, coordinating with our supporters to raise food and paper drives, and was even involved in writing articles and blog posts about HSP events. Through her spirit for service and strong work ethic, Patricia was able to make an important impact at HSP in meeting the needs of the less fortunate in the DuPage and Kane counties. Patricia will soon be graduating from Elmhurst College and we hope that her experience at HSP will be useful for her future.

This week we also bid farewell to Lydia Gantz. Since joining HSP in January, Lydia was

involved in a myriad of different projects at HSP such as interviewing the needy seniors we serve and writing annual “updates” about them. She also helped out by researching new avenues to help fund HSP’s projects, and even spread the word about HSP on social media. Lydia’s hard work and dedication were a blessing to HSP and the impoverished seniors, children, and families in our programs. Lydia is graduating from Wheaton College this month and will be entering into the workforce after graduation. We wish her nothing but the best as she moves forward into this new chapter of her life.

 Here at HSP, we are extremely grateful to the interns who help make HSP what it is. Without their dedication and service, it would be very difficult for HSP to do the things that it does. We would like to extend a grateful thank you and hope for the best for Patricia and Lydia.
