Request a Bed

Request a Free Bed for Your Kids
St. Joseph Catholic Church in Libertyville is always eager to help families in need, particularly ones whose kids have uncomfortable sleeping arrangements or no beds to sleep on. Unfortunately, we can only help families who are in our service area.  Therefore, you must fit the following criteria to receive one of our beds:

Location
You must be in our service area. Currently we are servicing Lake County (IL), and northern Cook Counties. McHenry, Kane and parts of DuPage, Boone, and Winnebago Counties

Bedding  Environment
You must have an accessible house or apartment with room large enough to fit one of our beds (twin or bunk beds only).

Application
You will need to either complete the form below, or call St. Joseph Church at 847-362-2073, to request a bed.  If your bed application is accepted you will need to sign an Indemnification Release Form when the bed is delivered. If you cannot fill out the form, call us and we will help you fill one out.

Ways to Request Free Beds
You can request a bed for your children, or you can request a bed for someone else (referring a family). Referring a family for a bed is a big responsibility. Generally, it is through referrals that we find the families who need our beds the most. If you’re a referral, we need the ability to reach people who refer a family via phone or text.

Bed Recipient
To qualify as a bed recipient, you must be the legal guardian of the child or children receiving the bed.

Selecting a Recipient
Unfortunately, there may be a bigger demand than beds available. We can’t guarantee that every applicant will get a bed.
