The 2014-2015 Emergency Shelter season began on Monday night at First United Church of Oak Park. If you are interested in volunteering in the shelter, please visit the Get Involved page of our website for instructions. If you've never volunteered before, you will need to attend an orientation session before your first night. We currently have two sessions scheduled in the next few months, each located at our offices in Maywood (1851 S. 9th Ave.):
Wednesday, October 15, 7-8:30 p.m.
Saturday, November 8, 9-10:30 a.m.
If you are unable to either of these sessions, or are interested in other types of volunteer opportunities, please contact Dominique at volunteer@westsuburbanpads.org to discuss alternative options. Thank you!
