Allured Business Media helps three hungry seniors
Allured Business Media in Carol Stream recently donated $1,600 to Humanitarian Service Project (HSP) to sponsor two seniors enrolled in the Senior Citizen Project (SCP) for the year. In addition to this donation, they have also set up an endowment to sponsor an additional senior off the interest earned off it for life.
Thanks to their generosity, three seniors will have access to non-perishable and fresh food, produce, frozen meat, paper products, and personal care items each month.
Allured Business Media, led by Janet Ludwig, specializes in online and print media for companies across the country. They primarily design websites, magazines, and e-newsletters for companies that are in the cosmetic industry. The business raised almost $7,500 for the endowment through a garage sale that was held earlier this year. They set up the fund so a senior will be able to always benefit from the money they raised. In addition to this extremely generous donation, they sent two additional checks to help two more seniors for the year. Allured Business Media also has plans to hold another garage sale this upcoming year to create another endowment.
All of the donations from Allured Business Media will be allocated towards SCP. The seniors in the SCP are impoverished and cannot be helped financially by their families. On top of being unsupported financially, they often have medical conditions which prevent them from being mobile. All 121 of the seniors in the program are severely impoverished, and purchasing groceries that are beneficial to their health is out of the question.
The Senior Citizen Project combats this severe impoverishment and malnourishment by giving these seniors monthly deliveries of groceries The needy seniors sponsored through the donation will receive a selection of 15 different fruits and vegetables, seven varieties of frozen meats, 6 bags of non-perishable food, three loaves of Pepperidge Farm bread, and 2 bags of paper products (paper towels, facial tissue, and toilet paper) delivered straight to their door every month. The 121 impoverished seniors in HSP's Senior Citizen Project also receive a monthly “Secret Pal” gift, gifts at Christmas time, and much needed household items on their “wishlist.” Every three months, the needy seniors receive a box of personal care items with their delivery including shampoo, conditioner, a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, lotion, soap, and hand sanitizer. The program provides the seniors the opportunity to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle, in the face of the financial and health burdens they face.

With the Senior Citizen Project, HSP provides monthly food deliveries of 100 pounds including fresh produce, frozen meats, non-perishables, paper products and secret pal gifts to 121 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.
