PADS Homeless Shelter

DuPage P.A.D.S. (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) is an organization that provides emergency housing and other services for more than 1,200 men, women, and children in DuPage County that are homeless. Although their mission is to end homelessness in our neighborhood, one of their principal activities is to coordinate a network of sites to give temporary relief to those in need of shelter.

DGFUMC has been involved in the PADS program for many years, and now hosts PADS every Tuesday night from October to May, providing food and shelter for up to fifty guests. Volunteers from our church coordinate the program and work on the first Tuesday of each month, while other churches and religious organizations work on the remaining weeks. If you wish to be a part of this vital program in our community, please contact Diane Kerr (630-968-7120 x 206).
