To raise funds and awareness, DuPagePads hosts four special events throughout the year and numerous outside fundraisers.

Check below to browse our past events. Proceeds from these “fun”draising events supported individuals and families who are homeless in DuPage County. Together with your support, we work to end homelessness in DuPage County.

The solution to end homelessness starts with housing.

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 – DuPagePads 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.

DuPagePads IS the solution to end homelessness — because when someone believes in you, everything can change.
