Claretian Associates hosted a Meet and Greet with the partnership of Neighbor Space at South Chicago Peoples Park, located at 3257 E 91st Street.

Loneliness Project  

The South Chicago Neighborhood Network and Advocate Health Care Systems concluded the Loneliness Project at the SALUD Center. The program was created to bring awareness to all components of loneliness and to provide tools for connection. “Loneliness was established as a pandemic not just in America but in the world. Once the person is aware of loneliness and has tools for connection, it reduces the risk of social isolation” said Faith Nurse Lashondria Purnell.   ​ 


UNITY Squad

​In partnership with Girls Who Code, UNITY Squad is hosting a coding club. Girls Who Code is an international nonprofit organization whose goal is to close the gender gap in the tech industry. “The girls will be learning about their community through tech related activities,” said Youth and Family Service Coordinator Pamesha Robinson. Girls in 7th- 12th grade are welcome to register here.

Seniors 
​

On Monday, December 4th, the Chicago Civic Orchestra hosted a free concert for seniors at the SALUD Center. The seniors enjoyed almost an hour of classical concertos and received details about each piece played.  Seniors were able to engage with orchestra members after the concert.

The South Chicago SALUD Center seniors are receiving computer tutoring sessions on the Preservation for Affordable Housing (POAH) side in the community room. Most recently senior friendly computers were installed in the POAH community room. “We want seniors to learn how to use the computer for leisure and more,” said Resident Service Manager Wendy Steward.  The computers are connected to a printer which allows seniors to print documents. Eventually, seniors will be able to pay rent online and navigate a computer on their own. So far 10 seniors are interested and receiving computer tutoring sessions. ​
