Started out of Karole and Floyd Kettering's home in 1979, the Humanitarian Service Project (HSP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the underprivileged children, seniors, and families of Illinois.
Among HSP's programs is the Senior Citizen Project, which began in 1982 with three beneficiaries. Today, HSP delivers over 90 pounds of groceries (food, household products, personal care items) to the project's 120 seniors in DuPage and Kane counties every month. The Senior Citizen Project exists to help its members maintain a healthy lifestyle and overcome the challenges of aging and financial problems more easily.
Additionally, the Senior Citizen Project's secret pals bring extra joy into the lives of the seniors by sending them small gifts on a regular basis. Secret pals usually spend $5 to $25 on items such as plants, puzzles, and gift cards. Though the gesture is simple, it makes a profound difference for the seniors.
Anybody can sign up to become a secret pal. If you're interested in assisting a needy senior, you may contact the Humanitarian Service Project at 630-221-8340 or hsp@humanitarianservice.org.
