PADS of Lake County

/files/Alpine Images/General/Homeless-Streets-786786.jpg

Over the years, many Alpiners have impacted the community by volunteering to serve at one of the PADS shelter sites in Lake County. For many of these volunteers, this has been an experience that has had a profound impact on their lives, as well. It's so easy to forget that while we sit in warm homes with plenty of food on the table, there are others- even in our affluent area- that live every day with hunger and homelessness. PADS provides dinner and overnight shelter for the homeless during the winter months.


We are looking for people to make a side dish, dessert or main dish to serve 40 or for a group to provide the complete dinner. Please contact the church office if you can help cook/bake or buy!!

Emmaus House Community Dinners

Each month Alpiners provide a delicious meal and valuable services to the less fortunate in our community through the ministry center at St. Francis de Sales Church. We serve dinner to our guests, and on any given month we may help them with their tax forms and job applications, give free haircuts, monitor their blood pressure, or help in other practical ways. But the best part is just the time we get spend with our new friends, sharing the love of Christ. We need servers, helpers, and food preparers every month.



Contact team coordinator Sue Leahy for details or to volunteer.  Next meal: August 8 at St. Francis
