The Need for Literacy

           The Humanitarian Service Project is seeking donations of books for the sake of the needy children we serve. We here at HSP find ourselves in particular need of books tailored for girls ages 7-8. Hardcover books are preferred, however we would be grateful for any type of donation of books for readers ages 3-11 either hardcover or softcover. Books donated to HSP are used for the Children’s Birthday Project through which we equip 925 impoverished children with 5-7 new, age appropriate books each year.

            By donating books to HSP, you can make a difference in the lives of young folk around the DuPage and Kane counties by giving them the gift of literacy. Even in today’s modern age, too many children find themselves growing up with an inability to read or write beyond a basic level due to an absence of books at home. By donating books to HSP, you can help young children build a foundation in literacy that will serve them and make difference for the rest of their lives. Help HSP provide these children the materials they need to receive the education they deserve.

If you would like to make a difference in the DuPage and Kane County areas, please feel free to contact HSP by phone at (630)221-8340 or by email at hsp@humanitarianservice.org.
