For the 27th consecutive year, the DGN Bands are supporting the “Giving Tree” initiative coordinated by the DGN Direct Action Club. DGN annually supports 150+ children and 25 senior citizens from the Humanitarian Service Project (HSP) in Carol Stream. It is the mission of HSP “to alleviate the pain and suffering that poverty brings to needy seniors and children.” Based on a screening process, HSP selects families for the Giving Tree from DuPage County and Kane County.
