Humanitarian Service Project Charity Profile

It is the mission of the Humanitarian Service Project to alleviate the pain and suffering that poverty brings to needy seniors and children living in DuPage and Kane Counties, Illinois, without distinction of gender, race, creed, caste, or color.

The Humanitarian Service Project (HSP) started in Karole & Floyd Kettering's spare room in 1979 with the purpose of helping needy families during the Christmas season in the DuPage County area by providing them with an abundance of groceries and gifts. The Christmas Offering still continues today, providing 145 impoverished families with 3 weeks of groceries, frozen meats, fresh produce and gifts for all the children. In 2006, we distributed 23 tons of food and 12 tons of Christmas gifts.

All of our programs are fueled by the love and generosity of local clubs, schools, businesses, churches and individuals who contribute both financially and through volunteering. We are committed to having the support we receive at HSP be meaningful and empowering by creating a wonderful environment for volunteers of all ages, as well as by effectively using financial contributions that we receive to impact DuPage and Kane's poor in the most significant manner possible.
