This month, we relaunched our partnership with the West Cook YMCA by resuming the Interim Housing program, which provides PADS' clients who are homeless with a private, supported and stable living environment while they work toward self-sufficiency goals.
Night owls are needed to volunteer for the overnight shift in the Emergency Shelter.
The Western Cook County Chapter of Jack & Jill of America recently donated nine House-to-Home Kits to be used in our Open Door Housing program.
The 206 Food Truck, which specializes in waffles and coffee, provides breakfast to shelter clients at Euclid UMC each month.
West Suburban PADS has been selected as one of the beneficiaries of the Chi-Town Jazz Fest, a multi-day event that raises money for hunger relief in the Chicago area.
"I have seen many awesome things that have inspired me and have saddened me, but the main thing that PADS has shown me is the resilience of the human spirit and how the clients can forge a new life."
The monthly legal clinic at St. John Lutheran Church provides shelter clients with much needed assistance.
"My name is Bill Clark and, like you, I am a friend of PADS. I invite you to join in strengthening the good work being done by PADS, by all of us who are helping “to transition people from housing crisis to housing stability.”
It's an exciting time at West Suburban PADS, and much of it is due to all the new faces in our building. If you haven't had a chance to meet them yet, please visit our "people" page to see who they are.
