Description
Sensible Threadz, a Local Community Discount Retail and Resale Store located at 208 S. Kirk Road, in St. Charles, is Collecting Pajamas for Infant through Adult Sizes.
During the entire month of April, Individuals can bring in a new or used pair of pajamas for all ages of children and adults, and receive a savings coupon that can be used anytime in the store. This will allow individuals of all ages to sleep in comfort at the shelter, and our customers to continue to save on their clothing costs.
PADS at Hesed House, is the second largest homeless shelter in numbers served in Illinois – second only to the City of Chicago. Every night, nearly 200 men, women and children line up outside the doors of Hesed House seeking a place to sleep, shower, do laundry, receive a meal, obtain medical and legal services, and other life-sustaining services. Over 6,000 volunteers and 80 faith-based communities, businesses and organizations provide manpower and food to feed the homeless and have served over 2 million meals since Hesed House opened its doors. To obtain more information about how to help or for any assitance, you can contact Hesed House directly at (630) 897-2156.
The Center provides:
- The PADS® Overnight Emergency Shelter (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) provides food, shelter, laundry facilities, and on–site counseling for 155 to 207 individuals each night.
- 50% of the adults in the PADS Program are employed. 100% of the adults in the TLC Program are either employed, seeking employment or seeking disability benefits.
- PADS® A.M. (and more!) is a Daytime Drop–In Center that offers daytime refuge and an opportunity for self–improvement and development to over 100 PADS guests a day, five days a week.
- The Transitional Living Community (TLC) provides temporary on–site housing and opportunities for up to 52 homeless persons of which almost, always 50% are children.
- LIGHT–House Permanent Supporting Housing currently has 40 individuals placed in apartments throughout the City of Aurora.
