During the summer we are supporting our local
neighbors in need. Here’s some ways to help
support our local mission partners...
PADS - Friday Nights during July and August
Sign up opportunities will continue in July. We
have the opportunity to provide food, shelter and
fellowship to 90 guests each Friday night, but it
can't be done without your help! Be a table host,
work a shift, help with set-up, clean-up, bake a
dessert, donate socks and undies or offer to buy
shoes. Walk with us on our journey of support for
those who suffer from homelessness in DuPage
County. For more information, contact Lorri Neely
