Dear Friends,
At Chicago Hyde Park Village we believe an age-friendly community is simply a friendly community. Thanks to your generosity, CHPV continues to foster a caring, supportive environment for vibrant, healthy aging. Nearly half of our revenue comes from individual donors like you, ensuring that older adults in our community can live healthfully and happily.
As a volunteer-driven organization, we call CHPV a community of “neighbors helping neighbors.” In the last year, your contributions helped 87 volunteers provide 3,040 hours of service (a 12% increase from the year prior), including:
- 208 rides to medical appointments and events
- 760 visits to 23 socially isolated older adults
- 12 monthly Memory Café events serving 177 attendees including people living with Alzheimer’s and care partners
- 26 volunteers served Thanksgiving Day meals to over 70 older adults either delivered to their doors or at our communal gathering
We’re excited to announce a $25,000 CHALLENGE GRANT from the Elizabeth Louise Smith Fund, which will increase the impact of your donation through the end of the year. Your generous gift today will help us meet this challenge and expand our services, enriching the lives of older adults, families, and our entire community.
Please help CHPV close our 10th anniversary year strong by donating today. With your support, you’re making a difference in the lives of our neighbors.
How will you help us meet this challenge?
With many thanks,
Lucas Livingston, Executive Director
