The Green Hills Public Library District is partnering with BEDS Plus to hold an annual Giving Tree at the Library. The Library first partnered with BEDS Plus in 2019. Through the years we have been able to collect hundreds of new items for individuals experiencing homelessness. The mission of BEDS Plus Care is to help vulnerable individuals stabilize their lives through housing and supportive services in an effort to reduce and end homelessness in Southwest Suburban Cook County.

The Library’s Giving Tree will be open for donations from December 4, 2023 through January 2, 2024. This year, the requested donations include:

  • New hats
  • Handwarmers
  • Low denomination gift cards

Hats and handwarmers can be donated in the Lobby on the Ground Floor of the Library, located at 10331 S. Interlochen Drive in Palos Hills, IL. To donate gift cards, please make arrangements with Adult Services Librarian, Janet Gatz at 708-598-8446 ext. 132 or jgatz@greenhillslibrary.org.
