In just the first six weeks of being opened back up for the current season, we have already served 2970 meals here at Ottawa PADS.
Do you enjoy cooking? Have you wanted to test out a new recipe or dish? Are you looking for a fun way to spend some time with a group of friends or family while making a big difference in the lives of others? We can definitely use your help!
We are currently housing 45 people each day and night here at our Ottawa shelter. We need your help with making sure that none of our guests go hungry.
We have several opportunities for meals to be sponsored and delivered or prepared on site. To learn more about how to get involved and help us out in this way, please give us a call directly at (815)433-1292. We hope to hear from you soon!

Volunteering means giving of yourself in time and effort towards a cause. This weeks volunteer is Betty S. Betty has been a volunteer at Lily Pads for 9 years. She spends 5-6 hours a week dressing our mannequins. We asked Betty what her favorite thing is about volunteering at Lily Pads and she said "The friendly people I work with as well as knowing I am helping people." Thank you Betty for keeping those mannequins looking good.

Last month, we were paid a special visit by this caring group of students from Christ Community Church. Three leaders and eleven students donated their time to come into the shelter and host a tie-dye night for our guests. The shirts that our shelter guests made with the help of the students were absolutely beautiful. The sense of pride that was restored in our guests by this kind act is something that we will never take for granted.
In addition to providing a fun activity for our shelter guests, this group of students took turns cleaning and organizing both our clothing closet and our classroom.
We are ecstatic to welcome this group back to the shelter tomorrow night to host a game night for our guests.
Although the students are considered the learners, we hope that they know that they have taught us a great deal. The world in which we live is a much better place because of each one of them.

Peru Pads would like to thank Dimond Brothers Insurance for a $1000 donation. Regional manager Becky Dall presented Executive Director Carol Alcorn with the check earlier today. Volunteer Peg Schulte nominated Pads to receive this donation from Dimond Brothers. Again, thank you!
Check out this generous donation that was collected in a three week time frame for our shelter guests. Our clothing closet was restocked out of these gently used and new clothing items that were gathered up for us by the Immanuel Lutheran Church of Marseilles and Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church of Seneca. We appreciate your heart for helping and your teamwork to make such a significant difference in the lives of our guests. Thank you!
