WELCOME!
THANK YOU FOR
YOUR KIND SUPPORT
WHO WE ARE
Formerly Twin Cities PADS Homeless Shelter (PADS stands for Public Action to Deliver Shelter) we are now the Twin Cities Homeless Shelter. We serve 20–25 guests per night for emergency shelter, and entry point for addiction recovery and mental health services.
WHY WE NEED HELP
With PADS’ limited space and funding we are struggling to support those who rely on our services to survive. Our roof is leaking and needs to be replaced. Help us now. Let’s put a roof over the heads of those who need it most.
WHO WE ARE
We are an emergency shelter and entry point into other outreach programs.
From here the individuals are directed to organizations like the following...
- Tri County Opportunities
- Northwestern Illinois Center for Independent Living
- YWCA
- Sinnissippi Mental Health

OUR HOURS
We are open 7:00 P.M. to 7:00 A.M. October 1st thru April 30th. Please call ahead prior to visiting.
OTHER WAYS YOU CAN HELP
We are very proud of the Shelter on many levels. We do a lot with a little and this fundraiser represents nearly half of our annual budgets. We a primarily funded through the community. The shelter is also primarily run by volunteers, and always has a constant level of supervision and oversight.
We are one of many great organizations and the competition for money is tough. Our mission is to help people and be a light to those lost in the darkness. Please help us keep the lights on!
