Allured Business Media hosts second annual garage sale
Allured Business Media, located in Carol Stream, is hosting their 2nd annual charity Garage Sale on Friday September 6 and Saturday September 7. The sale will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day and will benefit the Humanitarian Service Project of DuPage County. The garage sale will be held at Allured Business Media, 336 Gundersen Drive, Suite A, Carol Stream.
All of the money that is raised through the garage sale will go to HSP's Senior Citizen Project, which provides nutritious groceries to impoverished seniors living in the DuPage and Kane County area. Allured Business Media will match every dollar raised through the garage sale up to $7,500. Their goal is to raise enough money for a $15,000 endowment, which will provide a senior in the project with permanent sponsorship.
Over the past month, many community members have donated goods for the sale. Items that will be available at the event include, but will not be limited to: furniture, lamps, toys, dishware, clothing and accessories, baby furniture, sporting goods, household items, exercise equipment, electronics, DVDs/CDs and books.
Publishing highly-regarded magazines and producing quality conferences and trade shows, Allured Business Media has been a global information leader in the cosmetic, spa and salon, and fragrance and flavor industries for more than 80 years. The company's garage sale will support HSP's mission to alleviate the pain and suffering poverty brings to children and the elderly living in DuPage and Kane County.
The 123 impoverished seniors enrolled in the Senior Citizen Project receive a monthly supply of groceries, which includes 8 fresh vegetables, 7 fresh fruits, 7 frozen meats, 3-4 loaves of Pepperidge Farm bread, non-perishables, and a monthly Secret Pal gift. In addition to their groceries, they receive a care package of personal items that includes shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, dental floss, lotion, soap and hand sanitizer every three months.

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 100 pounds including fresh produce, frozen meats, non-perishables, paper products and secret pal gifts to 123 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 worth $1,500 retail in total for the summer. 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.
