Cooking and Gardening, Clothing and Material Support

This pocket guide contains information on many different types of resources that may be useful to individuals and families who are homeless

We understand the importance of community and the power of compassion. As a 100% volunteer-run program, we are committed to supporting vulnerable individuals and families in Cambridge, MA.

Our program is a neighborhood gathering place where housed and unhoused neighbors can mingle and get acquainted in a low-key, judgment-free setting.

When people come in we can help them use their digital devices (smartphones, tablets, computers), apply for services online, learn digital literacy and safety/privacy tips, and get access to devices.

From maker space workshops to a dance studio, a Food Lab to a performance space, The Foundry’s array of spaces will serve your individual or group needs. Bring your creative spirit!

We offer various clubs and after-school sports for students.

Qualifying individuals can apply to receive affordable internet access and a new laptop.

We help girls develop courage, confidence, and character through community service, exploration, workshops and adventures, including lessons in STEM, outdoors, life skills, entrepreneurship.

We offer a wide inventory of adult professional outfits and children's clothing and resources.

We will fix up 800+ donated bicycles and give them to qualified Cambridge residents. With bicycles people will also receive a bike lock, helmet, and lights.

Residents can apply for a new bicycle voucher (to buy from participating shops). Those selected can choose a pedal bike, e-bike, e-cargo bike, adaptive bicycle or electric wheelchair attachment.

As part of our program, we hand out various combinations of sandwiches or bagged lunches, juice boxes, snacks, socks, some seasonal items, toiletry kits, and more to the community.

We host activities for kids outdoors and indoors, including those that are open to the public and some tailored specifically to Boy Scouts.
