Charity Garage Sale to Feed Needy Seniors
On Sept. 7-8, Allured Business Media is hosting its first charity garage sale, to benefit a needy senior citizen served by the Humanitarian Service Project of DuPage County. Allured Business Media will match every dollar up to $7,500, with the goal of providing a permanent endowment to add a needy senior to HSP's program. Interested members of the community are encouraged to attend.
The garage sale will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Sept. 7-8 at the Allured Business Media office, 336 Gunderson Drive, Suite A, Carol Stream.
All proceeds will go to HSP's Senior Citizen Project, which provides a monthly delivery of 90 pounds of nutritious groceries, including fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen meats, bread, non-perishable food, paper goods, and personal care items, to 120 needy senior citizens in DuPage and Kane Counties.

About The Humanitarian Service Project
HSP's mission is to alleviate the pain and suffering that poverty creates in seniors and children living in DuPage and Kane Counties, Illinois. Last year during the Christmas Offering, 1,600 children received gifts and 100 impoverished families received three weeks of groceries, frozen meats, and fresh produce. With the Senior Citizen Project, HSP provides monthly food deliveries of 90 pounds including fresh produce, frozen meats, non-perishables, paper products and secret pal gifts to 120 low-income seniors. The Children's Birthday Project reaches the youngest underprivileged, making birthdays and Christmas truly memorable occasions for 900 children. Feed the Kids program provides 100 low-income families with groceries and fresh produce. HSP conducts an annual school supplies drive, which sends supplies to the DuPage Back to School Fair in addition to furnishing schools and individual children with necessary supplies.
