Follow Us As We Create an Urban Vegetable Garden

Our Urban GardenI’ve been thinking for a while about how to start a network of backyard vegetable gardens for homeless shelters, churches and community centers.  With the help of Waltham Works, Healthy Waltham, the Brandeis BBOG Students, and the CDCW guests and staff, this will be a great opportunity to learn what it will take to make things happen. - Marilyn

The Community Day Center of Waltham

The Community Day Center of Waltham, a not-for-profit organization, is the only day shelter in the metro-west area.  We provide a warm and welcoming place for the homeless and those who may feel alone and isolated.  By building a trusting relationship with our guests and providing them with access to services, they move beyond crisis and move toward self-sufficiency. We are open Mondays through Fridays from 1:30pm to 4:30pm.  In the winter months, we are also open in the morning from 7:30am to 9:00am.

Who Do We Serve?

The Community Day Center serves individuals who are:

  • homeless
  • lacking a permanent, safe and affordable place to live
  • living in isolation
  • have experienced emotional or physical abuse
  • have multiple and complex problems and have fallen through the cracks of our human service and legal systems
  • under-employed or not employed
  • poor

Would you like us to speak to your organization?

We'd love to visit your organization, church, business, club, etc., and give a talk about our mission and how we address the needs of the homeless and people in need in Waltham.
