We've Moved!
Our new office reflects the commitment to environmental responsibility and healthy living at the heart of our mission.
Our new address is 175 N. Franklin, Suite 300, Chicago, IL 60606. Our phone and fax numbers have not changed, and we’re still conveniently located in Chicago’s Loop. If you’d like to help HSC with a housewarming present, you can take a look at our gift registries at Amazon and Crate & Barrel. (At Crate & Barrel, you can find the registry by entering "HSC" as the first and last name of the gift registrant.)
