As a part of the DuPage P.A.D.S. (Public Action to Deliver Shelter) network, Redeemer serves as an interim overnight shelter site for the homeless of DuPage County every Saturday night from May through September.  Redeemer congregation members, neighbors and other local organizations and church congregations staff the shelter.  Redeemer members also assist Community Presbyterian Church in Clarendon Hills in its similar role from October through April.   P.A.D.S. is recognized in DuPage County for providing safe and hospitable shelter, transitional housing and supportive services for people who are homeless, in a setting that encourages responsibility and enables the transition to independence and self-sufficiency.  It also works to advocate against barriers that cause homelessness and educate the community.   The P.A.D.S. office is located at 705 W. Liberty Drive in Wheaton, IL, 630- 682-3846.  The P.A.D.S.' web site is www.dupagepads.org.
