Today was filled with birthday fun here at HSP! It was a
very special day for one of HSP’s wonderful employees. Matt, HSP’s Grant
Manager, celebrated his birthday today. His actual birthday is Sunday, but what
better way to celebrate a 26th birthday than at work among colleagues
and friends. From everyone here at HSP happy birthday Matt!
On the topic of birthdays, interns
Matthew and Nicole once again ventured to the McDonald’s headquarters to explain
the Children’s Birthday Project to a group of young volunteers. This was a
“Helping Hands” event put on by the Working Mothers Council. These volunteers
were children of the staff at McDonald’s, and their job was to put together a “Party
in a Bag”. The bags consist of all the elements needed to give impoverished
families the means to throw their children the party they deserve. The kids
packed the bags full of candles, napkins, plates, balloons, noise makers,
streamers, cake mix, frosting, and a table cloth. The children were dedicated
and worked at a quick pace to complete the bags to be taken back to HSP and be
given to a deserving child. All in all the kids put together a whopping 26 bags
to be taken back to HSP and given to families in need! HSP sends a huge thank
you to all the volunteers at McDonald’s. Every helping hand can make a
difference to those in need!
