Volunteers are needed to help run the annual JOURNEYS | The Road Home fundraising gala, Bid for HOPE. This event is hosted to raise awareness and funding for programs such as the HOPE Center and PADS overnight shelter. All proceeds will go directly towards funding these programs.
During the event, volunteers will greet and check - in guests, sell raffle tickets, encourage guests to participate in a silent auction and other event tasks. All volunteers will be required to attend a mandatory Bid for HOPE specific orientation on Tuesday, November 8th at 7:00pm to sign up for shifts, and receive job descriptions. Orientation will be held at the offices of JOURNEYS at 1140 E Northwest Highway, Palatine.
This is a formal event, so a formal dress code is required. For questions please contact Allyson Schnoor, Volunteer Coordinator.

Mission Statement
The mission of JOURNEYS | The Road Home is to individually assess and serve the homeless and near homeless, while broadening community awareness and involvement with the homeless.
Description
JOURNEYS is a collaborative effort between the HOPE Center and PADS shelter sites focusing on intervention and prevention for those in need. The clinical staff at the HOPE Center provide a wide array of psychological services, including mental health counseling, vocational rehabilitation, and housing assistance, all geared to helping our constituents achieve independence. Along the way, 19 faith-based emergency shelter sites provide dinners and a safe, warm place to sleep from October through April and 5 faith-based emergency shelters providing the same hospitality from May through September.
The face of homelessness has changed. Financial instability now affects a wider segment of our population, extending into the middle class and even beyond. Our goal is to not only serve the needs of these people, but the community as a whole as our efforts provide services for free, and in turn, offset costs typically absorbed by hospitals, municipalities, and legal systems.
