     CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH/ST. THOMAS PADS SITE

PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) is dedicated to providing hospitality, food, shelter and clothing to the homeless from October 1 through April 30. One of these PADS sites is located in Christ Lutheran Church (CLC) (41 South Rohlwing Rd.,Palatine). This site is run by volunteers from CLC and St. Thomas of Villanova Church (STV). The CLC site is open every SUNDAY night during the PADS season. Volunteers consistently report a spiritual return and a personal thankfulness from this service that goes far beyond the few hours they spend doing it. Can you join us in doing this simple yet exceptional service? YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!

Questions? Need more information. Call the parish office. Information can also be obtained at the PADS to Hope website: www.padstohope.org
