Social Justice Ministry

The Social Justice Ministry works with South Suburban PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter), an ecumenical ministry of faith communities and concerned citizens serving homeless men, women, and children. Twenty-one weekly sites and various churches provide emergency night shelter and meals from October to April. A continuum of care is provided through the Daytime Center which is open from 6:30 AM - 5 PM Monday through Friday year-round, and offers health care, job training, basic skills, personal needs and referrals, etc.

 

Training is provided for PADS volunteers, who commit to one four-hour shift per month. Volunteers are needed in both the overnight and daytime programs. For information call (708)-754-PADS.
