Seniors
This program is designed to provide seniors with regular opportunities for social interaction, enriching activities, hot and nutritious meals, health screenings and nutritional information, and field trips to local attractions. The program is based on the belief that senior citizens are happier and healthier when they have access to recreational and social activities.
Family Strengthening Department
Christamore House understands that many of our neighborhood families are challenged by the affects of living in poverty and nearly all are at risk of becoming homeless. To meet their needs, we provide case management services, and provide emergency food and clothing, infant supplies, utility assistance, and referral services to families in need.
Christamore House Boxing
Our historical boxing program provides mentorship and a creative outlet for physical exertion. The program has been operating at the Christamore House for decades. Many prolific boxers have come through our doors having boxed in our regulation boxing gym. Weekly, dozens of young people interact with positive role models, receive tutoring, and become stronger in character.
