BEDS Plus helps vulnerable individuals stabilize their lives through housing & supportive services.

11/10/2026

Illinois counted 22% more people living outdoors, in cars or in abandoned buildings this year than last year.

For our BEDS Plus outreach team, harm reduction in the winter means helping people stay warm, dry and fed. A pair of waterproof gloves or a gift card for a hot meal meets an immediate need and gives us a chance to check in. Over time, those conversations build the trust that can help someone take the next step toward shelter or housing.

Right now, we could use:

Hand warmers

Waterproof gloves

Small-dollar gift cards to McDonald’s or Dunkin’

Drop off donations at either BEDS Plus location:

La Grange | 9601 Ogden Ave.

Summit | 7666 63rd St.

Thank you for helping us keep these supplies on hand for winter outreach.

A little hocus pocus for a good cause!

Emma Hawling and Larissa Majagne of dressed as Glinda and the Wicked Witch and served up signature Halloween drinks at 1416, raising more than $1,000 for BEDS Plus!

Thank you to these two go-getters for choosing BEDS Plus as their charity of choice and bringing so much fun to giving back. Your efforts help our clients find and keep a place to call home.

And thank you to James and everyone at 1416 for your consistent support of local nonprofits. We appreciate all you do!

Kindness, stitched into every gift.

Thank you to Yarn Over Mission at Our Savior Church in Burbank for making hundreds of handmade scarves, hats and mittens for BEDS Plus clients this winter!

Every stitch represents time, kindness and care for someone who needs a little extra warmth. We love this hands-on way of giving back. Thank you for putting your talents to work for our clients!

Hundreds of socks. Hundreds of reasons to say thank you!
Thank you Mortenson Construction for collecting hundreds of pairs of socks for BEDS Plus clients!

For clients living on the streets, walking is often how they get to meals, appointments and services. Keeping feet clean and dry can be difficult without access to laundry or a fresh change of clothes. Clean socks provide warmth, comfort and protection from rubbing and dampness.

This is one practical way we help reduce harm while working with clients toward housing. And it’s why a donation of socks means so much.

Thank you to everyone at Mortenson who contributed to this incredible collection!

Thank you, Grizz Pest Management, for collecting winter coats for our vulnerable neighbors!

Through December 5, Grizz technicians are picking up gently used, washable coats and jackets during scheduled appointments. Donations will go to BEDS Plus clients who need warm clothing this winter.
Donating is easy: just hand your items to your Grizz technician during your scheduled service visit. We’ll take it from there!
Thank you to the Grizz team and everyone who contributes!

Let’s Roll!

As SNAP benefits change, families may have less room in their budgets for basics like toilet paper and paper towels. You can help us provide these essentials for our housed clients.

Helping Renters Stay Housed

Thanks to a recent capacity building grant, BEDS Plus is partnering with the Law Center for Better Housing to help staff and clients understand tenant rights and options for preventing eviction.

We’ll begin with staff training on renter’s rights, landlord responsibilities and the eviction process, including rental assistance and settlement options. In-person sessions for clients at our shelter locations will follow.

We’re glad to have LCBH’s expertise as we work together to help our neighbors stay housed.

A Car = More Independence 🚗

Abusers often control access to money and transportation, making it harder for survivors to leave, work or get help.

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, watch how BEDS Plus, of Hope and community partners helped one client get a car and gain more independence.

Want to help? Save April 29, 2027, for Mike McNamara’s Road to Independence event! Proceeds help pay for title transfers, license plates and three months of insurance for cars clients receive through Cars of Hope. Four BEDS Plus clients have received cars through Cars of Hope so far this year.

Standing with Survivors

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Shannon Goold, BEDS Plus Chief Program Officer, shared this reflection after accompanying a client to court to seek a Stalking No Contact Order:

“We were there right as they opened at 9 a.m., already a large group was formed and it struck me how many people probably took off work and school to do the same thing. Fearful, up the night before, life disrupted, but brave enough to share their story, seek the protections they needed.”

Housing is our primary focus, and supporting survivors is part of that work. Read how BEDS Plus and our community partners help survivors find safety, housing and ongoing support: https://beds-plus.org/dv/
