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.

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!
