HONORING OUR AGING VETERANS
10th Anniversary Dynamic Decade 2014-2024On this Veterans Day, Chicago Hyde Park Village salutes our generations of veterans including CHPV members who served and sacrificed for our nation’s liberty. While the current administration has championed our veterans, we as a nation must do more to ensure our older veterans have access to the resources and connections in support of vibrant, healthy aging.
 
As we honor them, please remember that your donation to CHPV strengthens our work in providing care, connection, and community for aging veterans and older adults across Chicago. Help us continue this mission—give today to make a difference!
 
Your donation today will be matched by a $25,000 Challenge Grant from the Elizabeth Louise Smith Fund. Please give generously to help us meet our goal and expand our services, enriching the lives of older adults, families, and the community. Please help CHPV close our 10th anniversary year strong by donating today. With your gift, you’re making a difference!
