Batavia Mothers' Club Foundation grant feeds needy children
Recently, The Batavia Mothers' Club Foundation made a generous donation of $750 to Humanitarian Service Project (HSP). The donation will be used to fund HSP's Feed the Kids (FTK) program, which provides groceries to impoverished families. The Batavia Mother's Club Foundation and HSP have been partnering for four years to alleviate the pain and suffering that poverty brings to children and their families living in DuPage and Kane Counties through their support of the FTK program.
The mission of The Batavia Mothers' Club is for mothers to become involved by helping children and families in the area to succeed, which is why their dedication to HSP's Feed the Kids program has been a positive light for local impoverished families. The organization started out as a women's book club and morphed into a group with a community and philanthropic focus. Every year, the Foundation donates over $25,000 to local charities and not-for-profits whose projects support their mission.
Throughout the summer, FTK distributes a monthly food package to 100 impoverished families, with over 375 children, living in the DuPage and Kane County area. The 150-175 lb. food package includes 3 boxes of non-perishables weighing 25 lbs. each, 15 varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables, 7 kinds of frozen meat, and 3 loaves of Pepperidge Farm bread.
