🏠💙 Ottawa PADS C.O.A.T. Program Making a Difference 💙🏠

The Ottawa PADS Client Outreach and Aftercare Team (C.O.A.T.) is helping extend our mission beyond the shelter walls!

This season, the team provided support to current shelter clients, outreach clients, and former clients working toward stability and independence. Their efforts included helping individuals find housing, employment, transportation, public assistance, medical and dental services, prescriptions, groceries, clothing, and other essential resources.

With more than 1,300 transportation trips provided, assistance for over 160 individuals, and countless connections to vital services, the C.O.A.T. program is making a real difference in the lives of people throughout our community.

Thank you to everyone who supports IV PADS and helps us provide Help for Today...Hope for Tomorrow. 💙

🎓💙 Celebrating a Special Milestone! 💙🎓

One of the children staying at one of our IV PADS shelters reached an important milestone this spring by graduating from 8th grade!

Our staff wanted to make the occasion extra special and went above and beyond to celebrate this achievement. From thoughtful encouragement to special recognition, they helped ensure this student felt proud, supported, and celebrated on a day that will be remembered for years to come.

At IV PADS, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed and to have their accomplishments recognized. We are proud of this student's hard work and determination.

💛🏡 More Hope Week Volunteers in Action! 🏡💛

We wanted to share a few more photos of the amazing volunteers from Ax Church of LaSalle who spent part of their Hope Week serving at the IV PADS Peru Shelter.

Their hard work, positive attitudes, and willingness to give their time made a real difference for our shelter and the individuals and families we serve. From beautification projects to maintenance improvements, their efforts helped make our facility a more welcoming place for our clients.

Thank you again to everyone who volunteered during Hope Week. Your kindness, compassion, and servant hearts are greatly appreciated! 🙌💛

🏡💛 Hope Week Makes a Difference at IV PADS! 💛🏡

🙌 A HUGE thank you to Ax Church of LaSalle for once again including IV PADS in their annual Hope Week project!

More than 20 dedicated volunteers, led by Ken Arndt, spent the day making improvements at our Peru shelter. Their hard work included painting hallways 🎨, cleaning dryer vents, trimming bushes 🌿, adding landscaping rock, and completing downspout work.

🛠️ Their Special Forces Team also tackled caulking and repairs in bathroom areas and installed an exterior fence near the outdoor play area.

These improvements help create a safer, more welcoming environment for the individuals and families we serve every day. We are incredibly grateful for AX Church’s continued partnership, generosity, and servant hearts.

The shelter looks amazing, and everyone involved had a great time making a positive impact in our community. Thank you for helping us provide hope, shelter, and support to those in need! 💙✨
