Join Us for the Coldest Night of the Year – February 22, 2025

Illinois Valley PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) provides compassionate care, shelter, and hope to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in LaSalle, Bureau, and Putnam counties. This year, we're partnering with Coldest Night of the Year USA, a family-friendly winter walk that raises funds and awareness for people facing the harsh realities of life without a home.

On February 22, 2025, we'll gather at Jordan Block in Ottawa, Illinois, and walk a one-mile route, crossing over Superior Street and back, symbolizing the journey our neighbors in need endure every day. Together, we'll shine a light on homelessness while raising vital funds to help IV PADS continue to offer dignity, respect, and support.
