Spare Change News
About
Spare Change News is a Cambridge street newspaper that aims to be a source of stability and community for the vendors who sell it, and a support for them during life transitions. Its content is almost always 100 percent locally produced, with much of the writing, illustration and photography created by people who are currently or formerly homeless or otherwise low-income.
The paper is devoted to quality editorial content for its readers, spanning journalism, fiction, creative and opinion writing, illustration and cartooning. It also works as a practical resource for people in need of services, pointing them toward help with food, shelter, clothing, employment, health care and legal aid. Its mix of reporting, creative work and service listings is meant to serve both vendors and readers.
