Community Day Center of Waltham

The Community Day Center of Waltham provides day shelter and support services to adults experiencing homelessness. It works to create a safe, judgment-free culture grounded in hospitality, compassion and mutual respect. As a drop-in location during daytime hours, it gives visitors a place to rest, share a meal, browse free clothing and get hygiene items, along with help connecting to the resources they need.

Case managers work one-on-one with clients who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to build a tailored action plan aimed at gaining stability. The center also runs a range of programs that address some of the hardest parts of homelessness and help clients move toward positive outcomes, both during and after that experience. Community members can support the work by volunteering, donating or joining the team.
