Historic Waltham days, Interfaith Counseling Services, Power Program for Downtown Learning, Protestant Chaplaincy Council, Interfaith AIDS Ministry and the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee. The soup kitchen is operated by the Massachusetts Human Services Agency for homeless and in-need adults. Every Friday from 4 to 6 pm we host these men and women as they gather for supper and conversation. Other evenings are hosted at Immanuel United Methodist Church, the First Presbyterian Church, and Saint Joseph s Parish. This is a unique opportunity to put into action our community s care, outreach, and connection to our Waltham neighbors.
Volunteers serve and interact with the guests.
The Clothing Exchange takes place in the church basement on Tuesdays from 10 am to 7 pm during the church year. Clothing and household items are accepted on consignment or as donations, and re-sold at very reasonable prices. It was patterned after the Wayland Exchange because Margaret knew how that one operated. It thrived under the direction of Mrs. Manual and Mrs. Eleanor Clark. Many of the original workers are still serving among the 25 to 30 people who operate it today.
