Each month, we deliver groceries to 125 low-income senior citizens. Throughout the year, we create 25-lb. boxes for the birthdays of each of the over 925 needy children we serve. Occasionally, we're asked to pick up large donations of toys, books, food, or household appliances and furniture. We also have to make special deliveries to our seniors to get them the items they need.
You can help by picking up collections of food, toys, or books and transporting the items to our warehouse. All you have to do is give us a call with your availability and we'll put you on our list to call when there is a need.
This opportunity is NOT available for court appointed service hours.

Mission Statement
It is the mission of the Humanitarian Service Project to alleviate the pain and suffering that poverty brings to seniors and children in DuPage and Kane Counties, Illinois, without discrimination or exclusion for any reason.
Description
Through our three programs, HSP provides life changing support to impoverished seniors, children, and families throughout DuPage and Kane. These programs are:
Senior Citizen Project - Provides nutritious groceries on a monthly basis to the elderly. Each senior receives a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen meats, non-perishables, bread, paper products, hygiene items and a small gift from their "Secret Pal" donor.
Children’s Project- Provides children with nutritional support at critical times of the year to combat hunger and food insecurity. Children ages 3 to 11 also receive a birthday box filled with gifts, books, schools supplies and party supplies.
Christmas Offering- Provides nutritious groceries and Christmas presents to 1900+ children and 135+ seniors living in poverty. Over 22 tons of food and 10,000+ gifts are distributed during December.
