Christamore House was founded in 1905 by two
Butler college students. Its mission is to promote the general welfare of
residents in the Haughville neighborhood, a west side community near downtown
Indianapolis and the IUPUI campus. Its many programs focus on the personal and
family development of area residents, and include a preschool, adolescent
recreation, adult education, seniors activities, counseling, emergency clothing,
food and infant supplies, dental and well child clinics. Christamore House is a
United Way agency. The Christamore House was built and moved to its location at 502 North Tremont
Street in 1924, and is listed on the National Historic Register.
In these rapidly changing times, it's
good to know that some things remain constant. For nearly 100 years, the
Christamore House has been a vitally important anchor for the Near Westside
neighborhoods. Much needed services have always been provided for families and
individuals of all ages by dedicated staff and volunteers. Call 317-635-7211 to
