Cambridge Shelter Corporation
Client DescriptionOur clients are old, young, temporarily unemployed, unemployable, mentally ill, addicted, lost, hungry, lonely, loving, funny, smart, disabled, depressed, joyful and talented.
There are no stereotypes of the homeless because they each have a different story and reason for coming. Some will need help forever, and some for only a few days or months. Some stay to give back, share, and to help others. Some are looking for a refuge or a place where they are accepted. Some are surprisingly upbeat despite the hand that fate has dealt them. A few come because of the mistakes they have made.
Many are here because of circumstances totally beyond their control. Beyond the "I don't care" facade, there is often physical disability, mental illness, addiction, and, at times, a childhood of pain, neglect, and abuse.
Volunteer Impact StatementVolunteers are the lifeblood of Cambridge Shelter Corporation by helping us provide essential services to individuals experiencing homelessness.
