Local senior citizens in great need of personal care items
The Humanitarian Service Project (HSP) of DuPage County is calling out to community members willing to donate necessary personal care items for impoverished senior citizens in DuPage and Kane Counties. With only 60 of 123 ‘Personal Care Kits' completed for the December 7th delivery date, HSP needs support from the community to ensure that each senior receives a kit and stays healthy.
As part of their Senior Citizen Project, HSP delivers these kits every three months to each of the 123 needy seniors enrolled in the program. To help these seniors maintain a healthy and clean lifestyle, each kit includes shampoo, conditioner, lip balm, a toothbrush and toothpaste, dental floss, lotion, bars of soap, and hand sanitizer. At present, the specific items most needed are conditioner, dental floss, lotion, hand sanitizer, and bar soap.
In addition to the kits, the 123 seniors enrolled in the Senior Citizen Project also receive a monthly supply of groceries, which includes fresh vegetables and fruits, frozen meats, bread, and non-perishables, along with a monthly ‘Secret Pal' gift.
Whether a complete kit, or an individual item, all donations are graciously accepted and appreciated. Please contact HSP to learn more about how you can help keep the impoverished senior citizens within our community clean and healthy.
