The solution to end homelessness is more complex than providing individuals with food and shelter. Founded in 1985, DuPagePads is the largest provider of interim and permanent housing, coupled with support services in order to help individuals work toward a place to call home – DuPage Pads vital support services enable the individuals we help to receive case management and life coaching, employment support such as GED courses and job coaching, as well as engagement with employers—effectively stopping the cycle of homelessness.

Through our customers’ generous donations, funds raised through portions of our sales, and some rounding up to get nice even numbers, we’re excited to assist some of our community’s wonderful Non-Profit organizations!
