Timothy Christian High School Raises Money for Local Non-Profit
The Humanitarian Service Project, of Carol Stream, was recently the grateful recipient of a charitable gift from the Timothy Christian High School Student Council. The council generously raised $499.76 for the non-profit group. This is only the latest in the Elmhurst school's efforts on behalf of HSP. Over the years, the student council has been heavily involved in utilizing their time and resources in order to better the lives of those in their community. Their decade long relationship with HSP is an extension of that drive to help others. In addition to monetary donations, the student council has supported the Humanitarian Service Project's mission by organizing food and toy drives, with the proceeds going to programs aimed at serving needy senior citizens and families.
The donation received by the Humanitarian Service Project will be put directly to work feeding and caring for needy citizens of DuPage and Kane Counties. Some of the projects the money will be put towards include the Children's Birthday Project and the Senior Citizen Project, both of which aim to improve the lives of impoverished children and seniors.
Currently, 120 seniors are enrolled in the Senior Citizen Project, which provides needy area seniors with a delivery of 90 pounds of food a month. This delivery includes frozen meats, bread, non-perishable food, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, personal care items and paper products such as, facial tissue, toilet paper, and paper towels. The Children's Birthday Project serves 888 needy area children with a 20-25 pound Birthday Box containing school supplies, books, toys, and a Party-In-A-Box kit.
