The six locations are:

** Kennedy King College, 6301 S. Halsted

** Richard J. Daley College, 7500 S. Pulaski
** Truman College, 1145 W. Wilson
** Arturo Velasquez Institute, 2800 S. Western
** Wright College, 4300 N. Narragansett


The locations will be open to serve Chicago residents at increased risk on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays---starting Saturday, October 24.
