With a new school year on the horizon and autumn nearly in sight, JOURNEYS has begun looking to the colder months and what that means for our facilities, clients, and community. 

We are so excited to be moving into our new building in just a few months. It seems right around the corner, and will certainly catch us all by surprise despite our diligent preparation!

We're working to get our PADS Shelter Program off the ground again this fall, with a planned opening of October 1st, which means we're reenergizing community partnerships with churches and volunteers. We're excited and hopeful as our community comes together to help us reintroduce PADS.

Next month our Annual Meeting will be in person on 9/29 at the Palatine Public Library. There's more information below in the Save the Date section of this newsletter.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership! We hope August brings you rest and time with loved ones as we cling to the last weeks of summer!

JOURNEYS is in need of volunteers to help with our PADS program and HOPE Center, among many other opportunities!

It's a wonderful opportunity to help others and partner with your community.
