Everyone is invited to the monthly Social Justice Speaker (and free lunch) at First UU Society (1326 Washington Street, West Newton) on Sunday, October 26 at 12PM. This month, Chloe-Rose Crouch will speak about her work as Executive Director of the Community Day Center of Waltham, which has the highest percentage of housing placements of any organization in MetroWest.
The Center provides day shelter and support services to adults who are experiencing homelessness. Each year, CDCW houses an average of 24 people, holds 96 substance abuse recovery meetings, sends approximately 36 people to rehab and detox facilities, and sleeps 20 people from December-April at their Winter Night Program.
Many volunteers from Newton support the center’s programs with their time or warm clothing and other needed supplies.
