First Congregational Church of Western Springs is a long-time supporter of BEDS Plus. The church supports BEDS and our programs through its mission programs as well as its Woman's Society. Church volunteers over the years have worked and hosted summer shelter, provided meals, conducted drives and delivered food rescue. Their support is essential to our success and ability to help vulnerable clients in the communities we serve. We thank our faith-based supporters and the many individuals at these churches who also donate and help us carry out our mission. Thank you!
Thankful Thursday! Thank you to the family of former BEDS client Kenny, who donated gift cards, cash and shelf-stable food items to our clients. Kenny's family organized a 5K run/walk last year that raised funds for BEDS in memory of Kenny. His family has continued to support BEDS. Pictured here are his sister Candice, aunt Bernice and dad Ken. Thank you!

Volunteers vital to our work
BEDS was founded by a committed group of La Grange area residents. They did not have any formal human services training; they simply saw people living outdoors and decided to act. We started as a weekly shelter in an area faith-based organization. Other faith-based organizations soon joined in, bringing new groups […]
Just having that key to the door gives me a sense of happiness. It's invigorating, it is a special feeling.
The LATH program has truly helped. It is an inspiration to gain independence as a woman, as a mom, and has helped me grow.
BEDS really helped me find the stability and structure that I needed.
The staff at BEDS is great. Great is an understatement. Awesome, especially Rapid Rehousing Case Manager Beth Kulpinski. She goes out of her way for people.
Saving our lives and futures, providing food and shelter, helping us find a way back home, loving us when we feel no else does, not judging us instead accepting us as we are!
