100 pillows homeward bound to Hesed House

One-hundred top quality pillows ordered by Hotel Indigo Naperville Riverwalk but ultimately not needed are finding a new home with the residents of Hesed House in Aurora.

Hotel General Manager George Hall said community service is important to the Hotel Indigo brand. "We have been so warmly welcomed into the area, we want to share our good fortune with the people and organizations who need assistance. While rooms for donation can be in short supply, we are pleased to offer whatever help we can to support the community."

"We will add these to our 'home starter kits' for when people move out of the shelter into their own homes again," says Hesed House Executive Director Ryan Dowd. "When someone becomes homeless they lose EVERYTHING so when they move back into an apartment they start with nothing. Oftentimes, a pillow is an item that just has to wait because you can sleep without one if you have to. So the next 100 people that move out of Hesed House will not have to sleep without a pillow!"

Hotel Indigo Naperville Riverwalk opened in November 2016 in the Water Street District in downtown Naperville. The 152-room boutique hotel is situated on Naperville's famed Riverwalk park, and caters to leisure and business travelers as well as weddings and corporate and organization meetings and events through Elements Events on the premises. The hotel is managed by IHG International Hotel Group and was developed by Marquette Companies, developers of Water Street District in Naperville.
