Middough Employees Donate School Supplies to Needy Children
Recently, the employees from Middough, an engineering and architecture firm located in Oak Brook, Illinois, organized their efforts to raise $100 for Humanitarian Service Project (HSP). Middough employees; Kathy Braunshausen, Peter Jensen and John Mylar spearheaded the fundraiser. In the past, Middough employees have contributed to HSP’s projects by hosting food drives for the Senior Citizen Project and the Feed the Kids program. Their donation was used to buy school supplies for HSP’s School Supply Drive. On top of their generous donation, the employees also donated two boxes of binders for the drive.
Through HSP’s annual School Supply Drive in which individuals and businesses around the DuPage and Kane County area donate new notebooks, folders, pencils, pens, crayons, etc. so that they can be donated to children that can’t afford these back to school necessities. HSP sends all of their school supply donations to the DuPage Regional Office of Education’s Back to School Fair. HSP also sends supplies directly to schools in DuPage and Kane County with large populations of children living in poverty.
