PADS Program

PADS Program (Public Action to Deliver Shelter)

 

Saint Gilbert Catholic School Families,

 

Saint Gilbert Catholic School believes in being of service to others. Every school year from October through April, the Lake County PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) provides a warm location for the homeless. On Thursdays, during these months, our classrooms take turns bringing in a lunch that guests of the shelter may take with them when they leave in the morning. 

 

The United Protestant Church in Grayslake is one of the locations that provides this service. They provide dinner and a place to sleep for the homeless on Thursday evenings from October through April. When the clients leave the shelter the next morning, they are given a lunch to take with them. St. Gilbert School students have been generously providing these lunches throughout the years. Each week, a different grade is assigned the task of bringing in lunches. Students in grades 6 through 8 also provide food and service for 6 dinners from October through April. Each homeroom teacher will send a parent reminder indicating what should be included in the lunch.   

 

Thank you for generosity and supporting our mission to help those in need in our community!
