PADS Homeless Shelter

Because not everyone can say... There's no place like home.

In operation since 1991, the Illinois Valley PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) operates two emergency shelters that serve LaSalle, Putnam, and parts of Marshall and Grundy counties. PADS offers a safe and nurturing place for those in need by providing meals, showers, laundry and a warm bed in a Christian, loving and nondenominational environment. PADS is open October 1 and closes April 30 each year. PADS provides shelter from 7pm to 7am every day during those months. The Illinois Valley PADS is a 501(c)(3) organization registered with the State of Illinois. Peru PADS 1320 Menards Drive 815-224-3047 (f) 815-224-1162 Mailing Address P.O.
