Each Monday evening during the month of March, St. Joseph Parish will be providing a meal for PADS (shelter is located in the basement of the First CongregaƟonal Church, directly across the street from the Downers Grove Library). Local homeless families are served dinner, provided with A safe nights’ sleep, breakfast the following morning and a brown bag lunch.
Help is needed to prepare specific food items for the dinner meal, purchase bulk breakfast foods for the following morning, and bulk items for brown bag lunches. Adult Volunteers are also needed to plate up food, serve and clean-up.
If you are willing to help, please reach out to the Coordinator assigned for each meal. We will be looking for entrees, salads, vegetables and desserts at dinner; bulk eggs, bacon, cereal, milk and juice for each breakfast; and bulk bag lunch items. As always, your generosity is greatly appreciated!
For any of these meals, you can sign up online by going to
