Hello! I’m pleased to announce that I’m the new coordinator for the UUCE PADS Lunch Group!
PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) of Elgin aims first to meet the basic needs of homeless individuals, then provide case management. The shelter provides a safe place to sleep, meals, showers, laundry facilities and personal hygiene products. Last year PADS provided 13,611 nights of shelter and 38,111 meals to 302 men, women and children. Please consider signing up to make, deliver and/or serve one of UUCE’s Monday lunches.
This is an endorsement by Kristal:
“As a previous PADS guest one can only imagine how much stress and concern a houseless person has daily. Thankfully being at PADS and receiving meals was not an added stress. There were certain days when we looked more forward to the meal and Mondays was that day. The food selections was always a delight but also the kindness you felt from those who prepared and served the meals was refreshing and uplifting.”
Here is the new PADS Lunch schedule for July.
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered and who are considering volunteering. You may contact me with any questions.
Dotty Carringi
UUCE PADS Coordinator
