Housing Opportunities provides housing for the homeless, helps families keep their homes, and coaches sustainable lifestyles. St. Agnes Adult Day Service Center provides a friendly and nurturing place where trained caregivers provide safety, healthcare, personal care, and meaningful activities for adults who cannot stay home by themselves during the day. Memorial Opera House is a historically significant facility in downtown Valparaiso that stands as a beacon for the Arts: acting as a venue for theatrical events, concerts, public meetings, weddings and more.
St. Teresa of Avila Student Center is a Catholic community that serves local families and students of Valparaiso University. It is well known locally for its Café Manna program and outreach ministry serving and feeding over 350 guests each week.
The Five-for-Five Charity Challenge kicked off during the August 1 ribbon cutting of the new Calumet Ave Banking Center in Valparaiso. Over the past two weeks, residents nominated charities by visiting the new Banking Center and submitting, in person, a written nomination form. Charities were selected based on the impact they have in the community as conveyed in the nominations received.
