WHAT'S NEW AROUND HERE!
Our community is amazing!
So many have asked how to help and many previous asks have been filled. To better serve those we are in care of we ask the following:
1. Consider a financial donation through our website at www.ivpads.com. Our stores which generate a whopping 65% of our operating budgets are closed and not drawing income.
2. Purchase a gift certificate or gift card from your favorite local business in any denomination and mail or have it mailed to PO Box 1012, La Salle ,IL 61301.
3. At this time immediate food needs are filled and there is limited refrigerator/freezer/pantry space. We urge you to help food pantry's that are serving so many more than we are at this time. We will update this for future when the need grows again and thank all those who have given and are scheduled!
Thank you!
Stay Safe, Stay healthy & Stay IN if you can!
An Update from IV PADS on COVID-19
Monday, March 23rd, 2020
At Illinois Valley PADS we're learning as we go during an ever changing, fluid
and unprecedented situation, just as you are. We wanted to share a few updates that have happened in the last week.
· Our Peru Pads Shelter IS OPEN 24/7. Ottawa PADS clients and case managers have moved temporarily into the Peru facility to better allow us to focus on the safety and assistance of our clients. This also allows us to combine our employee, material supplies and financial resources to meet this crisis. We will update more as we are able. There is administrative staff still at the Ottawa facility on a limited basis.
· The shelters are accepting food donations, gift cards and monetary donations at this time. By combining resources, our paper products at this time are not an essential need but as time goes on, it may be a need. Food and meals for 40 people will be needed. We will post any immediate needs as they arise on Face Book and on our Website as they arise at www.ivpads.com.
· Utilize our intercom system at the front door at Peru PADS and drop off these donations if you should like, no contact is necessary. If you should like a tax receipt, please e-mail us at info@ivpads.com. Please do not leave the safety and comfort of your home for clothing or housewares at this time. It is not an essential need at this time.
· Consider donating a meal or snacks to the shelter guests. Currently we are housing approximately 40 individuals. We have pantry items that can be prepared, but lack some of the time and staffing needed. This is a tough time for many local business and restaurants. Supporting your favorite local establishments during this time by sending a charitable donation is two-fold in kindness. Consider coordinating a meal or purchasing a gift card of any denomination. Please call the shelter to inquire on scheduling any of the 3 meals a day we are providing at 815-224-3047.
· Both Lily Pads Resale of Peru and Lily Pads Too of Ottawa are closed until April 8th, 2020. We understand you are possibly reorganizing and purging and we will be absolutely thrilled to receive your donations when we reopen. We will miss all of our customers, donors, volunteers and co-workers, until then please practice safety first!
· Our Lily Pads Resale stores fund our shelters 65% of our budgeted expenses in a year. If you can hold your donations till we open, we would greatly appreciate it. If you cannot, then drop them off at one of the shelters. Please consider a monetary donation instead of donated clothing and goods while we are closed. ivpads.com/donate/
IV PADS is taking necessary precautions to remain safe. We are providing sanitized facilities, supplies and practicing social distancing as best as we are able as a means of protecting some of the most susceptible in our communities.
We will update our website and Face Book as we know more. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers at this time as we will do for you!
From the Board, Leadership & Staff of IV PADS, We thank you for being a part of our caring, compassionate community. Please take Care and Stay Safe during such uncertain times! Help for Today...Hope for Tomorrow.
