Updates as of April, 2021

Both Peru PADS and Ottawa PADS are fully staffed and open 24 hours a day to assist individuals and families who find themselves in need of services.  Lily Pads and Lily Pads Too remain open for business and donations.

Covid Protocols:

  1. All new shelter guests are required to have a negative COVID-19 test result before being allowed to check into the shelter program.
  2. Upon entering the program, each new guest is expected to stay in quarantine for five to seven days as a precautionary measure in making sure that someone does not turn positive during their stay. This also ensures that if someone turns positive that we do not expose everyone else in the shelter.
  3. No COVID-19 positive individuals are allowed to reside at the shelter. The LaSalle County Emergency Management Services and the LaSalle County Health Department have secured alternative housing plans for anyone who turns COVID-19 positive while residing here at the shelters.
  4. Staff has been trained and volunteers have generously given their time to help us test weekly for COVID-19. All shelter guests are retested for COVID-19 on every Wednesday as a means of ensuring that we do not end up with another outbreak of COVID-19.

Exactly one year ago today, we were preparing to close down our shelter here at Ottawa PADS and move all of our shelter guests over to our Peru PADS location. In having a much larger facility, we were able to keep our clients safe while navigating through the uncertainties related to COVID-19.

Today, exactly one year later, a single mother of five teenagers is working diligently to sign her lease to her family's new home. Check out the photo below to see how she shared this exciting news with her children upon their return back from school.

Their reactions were truly indescribable. These moments in particular are bitter sweet. We are beyond proud of this family's courage, patience, and determination that all contributed to their success.

Ottawa PADS

Since August 15th of this past year of 2020, we have had 123 strong individuals knock on our doors to ask for help with getting back on their feet. The strength that one must possess in order to ask for help is admirable. We know that none of the work that we do here at Ottawa PADS would be possible without our caring and compassionate community members who continue to support our mission. Here are our top three wishes for the week:

1.) Meals
We still have several openings for lunches and dinners to be provided to our shelter guests. If you like to cook, we have a pantry and freezers full of food to be used to feed the men, women, and children who reside with us. Please give us a call at (815)433-1292 to get added to our meal calendar right away, or stop by to see what meals are still needing to be filled.

2.) Volunteers
Volunteer training sessions are still being offered from 10:00 am until 11:00 am on every Monday and Friday morning, and again from 1:00 pm until 2:00 pm on every Wednesday afternoon. If you enjoy organizing, cleaning, and serving meals, we can use your help. We have opportunities available for our volunteers 24 hours each day and all 7 days of the week.

3.) Supplies
Check out our link to our Amazon Wish List posted in the comments below for easy online shopping opportunities. Purchases can be shipped directly to our shelter that is located at 1120 Canal Street here in Ottawa. Our top 3 supply needs for the week are 39 Gallon Garbage Bags, Copy Paper, and Toilet Bowl Cleaner.

Maya Angelou is known for saying, "When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed." We cannot thank you all enough for the continued blessings.
