To Our Christopher House Community,
As we come together to protect each other and manage COVID-19, Christopher House will be closing all locations from Tuesday, March 17 through Monday, March 30.
In these uncertain times, our priority is ensuring that our scholars, families, and staff have access to the resources they need. If you are in need of food, individually boxed meals will be available from 9AM – 1PM at your neighborhood CPS school. If you are picking up at Christopher House Elementary School (5235 West Belden), please go through the parking lot, follow the signs, and pick-up by the middle school doors.
Please check our website and Facebook page for updates, and the links below for more information. To our Christopher House families: please ensure that you are signed-up with our Remind App to receive additional updates from the organization. If you have any urgent concern, please send it via Remind or call 855-318-8285 between the hours of 9AM and 5PM.
Since our founding in 1906, Christopher House has continually adapted to meet the needs of our families, and we are prepared to do so again during this confusing and uncertain time. Please know that we are doing everything in our power to support our scholars, families, and staff, and please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns. We will continue to make decisions about our operations and activities with safety in mind and provide updates as they become available.
