PADS 2020 

When COVID-19 restrictions began, Journeys and the PADS program had to stop providing shelter to our area’s homeless in its normal way, at church halls and gymnasiums, one night at a time. However, because COVID also caused hotel space to open up, PADS was able to contract rooms and has been sheltering 75 persons inside since the early days of the pandemic. 

The change has been “phenomenal” according to Journeys. Its employees have been able to work more consistently with each person, and make improvements in physical and mental health. Removing the anxiety of having to move from place to place has been a game-changer for many individuals. 

Journeys relies on donations of money, supplies and food for their work, and right now their greatest need is money.

Ways to help … Meal sign-up individually

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0e4aaaaa23a0ff2-public Supply donations, information at:

https://www.journeystheroadhome.org/ Groups who’d like to sponsor a meal (35-40 meals at a time)

Contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Heidi Meier, at h.meier@journeystheroadhome.org or (847)963-9163 x121 Make a financial donation

…I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me,

ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me…

It’s Different Now! The 2020 Tootsie Roll Drive will roll with On-Line Donations and safe Drive-in Sites on

Saturday, September 19th!

Palatine, Illinois – August 24th, 2020. Due to the pandemic, the 2020 Tootsie Roll Drive will look very different. For the first time in decades, council volunteers will not be soliciting donations at Palatine street corners and stores. Instead, the Knights have created two new ways to accept your generous donations for the direct benefit of children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

SAT, SEP 19TH “NON-CONTACT” DRIVE-IN DONATION SITES FROM 9 AM - 1 PM. Volunteers will be accepting your cash and check donations at five parking lots in our community. You can find us at ST. THERESA PARISH *** PLEASANT HILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL *** PLUM GROVE JR. HIGH SCHOOL *** WALTER R. SUNDLING JR. HIGH SCHOOL *** WINSTON CAMPUS JR. HIGH SCHOOL. From a safe social distance, volunteers with PPE will be carefully accepting your donations – and thanking you with a Tootsie Roll - using extension pole devices. Writing a check? Please make the check out to “Holy Ghost Council #4977”. Sorry, credit cards are not accepted at drive-in donation sites.

ONLINE DONATIONS NOW ACCEPTED AT WWW.PALATINETOOTSIEROLLDRIVE.COM. Unable to attend the Sep 19th drive-in donation event? Please contribute by clicking above. PayPal and major credit/debit cards welcome.

The need for your support continues despite the pandemic – perhaps more urgently than ever before ! Your donations directly benefit over a dozen local charities providing work, growth and enrichment opportunities for children and adults with special learning disabilities. The Palatine Knights (www.kofc977.org) are hopeful that you will once again rise to meet our community’s special needs and surpass last year’s total of $27,000. Your generosity is appreciated!
