Since 2003 the Waltham Community Day Center has become a vital and growing resource for Waltham.
On a typical day up to 60 guests spend time at the Center. While most are white males, roughly 25% are Hispanic, 12% are women, and 5% are African-American.
Most are also homeless.
A significant minority are mentally disabled, living in the community in group homes or subsidized housing. Attendance moderates during the summer, but has never been lower than twenty-five daily guests.
