IV PADS New Ottawa Shelter Open House & Celebration
📅 Thursday, October 1, 2026
⏰ 4:30–7:00 p.m.

After years of planning, hard work, generosity, and community support, the new Ottawa PADS Shelter is becoming a reality—and we want YOU to be part of the celebration! 💙

Join Illinois Valley Public Action to Deliver Shelter (IV PADS) for an Open House celebrating the completion of our new shelter. Come tour the facility, see the spaces designed to serve individuals and families experiencing homelessness, and learn more about the impact this new building will have on our community.
This is more than a new building. It is a place of safety, dignity, opportunity, and hope. ❤️

We are incredibly grateful to the donors, community partners, volunteers, businesses, churches, and supporters who helped make this dream possible.
✨ Come see what your support helped build!
🥂 Light refreshments will be served.

We can’t wait to celebrate this exciting milestone with you!
