Donated boxes of food from Gower Middle School. |
One week after wrapping
up the Feinstein Challenge, we would once again like to give a huge thank you
to everyone who supported us during the months of March and April. Through your
donations, we are receiving grant money directly from the Feinstein Foundation proportionate
to the amount of food donated. This grant will go toward helping local needy
families and seniors.
We are pleased to
announce during the past two months, HSP collected a grand total of 31,022 lbs
of food! To put that in perspective: that’s the equivalent of five and a half months’
worth of non-perishable food to feed all 123 of our seniors enrolled in the
Senior Citizen Project.
Our appreciation goes out
to the churches, businesses, schools, and many individual donors who made the
time during the Feinstein Challenge such a successful period. Your
contributions, as always, make a huge difference in the lives of the families
involved with HSP.
Today, we would also like
to recognize the Gower Middle School student council in Burr Ridge, who
responded to our food drive call. We received eight boxes yesterday full of
non-perishables. With Feed The Kids starting next month, every single canned
good counts.
Thank you again for all
of your support!
