Allured Business Media Hosts 2nd Annual Garage Sale

Allured Business Media, located in Carol Stream, is hosting their 2nd annual Garage Sale on September 6 and 7 from 9AM to 4PM to benefit the Humanitarian Service Project (HSP).  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. Their goal is to raise enough money for a $15,000 endowment, which will provide a senior in the project with permanent sponsorship. The address of the garage sale is as follows:

Allured Business Media

336 Gunderson Drive, Suite A

Carol Stream, IL 60188

For anyone that would like to make a donation, the items can be dropped off every Friday in August from 9AM to 3PM at Allured Business Media. Donations must be gently used, un-broken, and working items. Items can include furniture, lamps, toys, dishware, clothing and accessories (handbags, scarves, and jewelry), baby furniture, sporting goods, pots/pans, household decorations, exercise equipment, electronics, collectibles, 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.

Impoverished seniors that are enrolled in the Senior Citizen Project receive a monthly supply of groceries, which includes 8 fresh vegetables, 7 fresh fruits, 7 frozen meats, 3-5 loaves of Pepperidge Farm Bread, non-perishables, and a monthly Secret Pal gift. In addition to their groceries, every three months, 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 90 pounds including fresh produce, frozen meats, non-perishables, paper products and secret pal gifts to 120 low-income seniors. The Children's Birthday Project reaches the youngest underprivileged, making birthdays and Christmas truly memorable occasions for 875 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.
