Chicago Hyde Park Village wishes you and your loved ones a safe and happy holiday season!
 

WE'RE ALMOST THERE!
 
We are 98% of the way to reaching our annual individual charitable giving goal. Please help us reach our goal and finish the year strong!

Your donation today directly sustains CHPV's nearly 500 annual events in support of happy and healthy aging in community. Programs like our Memory Cafe in collaboration with the AKARAMA Foundation depend on your support to create a safe, comforting, and welcoming space for our neighbors living with dementia and their care partners. Recent highlights from our Memory Cafe include dancing and moving with young friends from the Hyde Park School of Dance and crafting delightful rice sock snowman dolls that also serve as microwavable heating pads!
 
 
Please help support this and our other community-sustaining initiatives. With your support, you’re making a difference in the lives of our neighbors.
