Come help COTW to support the homeless in an event we are co-sponsoring. All you can eat barbecue with free live jazz, along with fabulous auction items generously donated by businesses in Waltham.
They are still looking for more items, so if you can donate them, please get in touch with COTW at info@chaplainsontheway.org
Their chaplains, well-trained college interns, and many devoted volunteers, are living out the mission by building trusting relationships with those experiencing homelessness, living in deep poverty, and who may be dealing with mental health or substance use challenges. The demand for their breakfast service for the homeless, interfaith services, support for the Waltham Community Leadership Group, end of life services, clothing, and referral services are expanding and are costly. In addition, these volunteers, interns, and chaplains make the work possible and even more relevant as they include, for example, groups that address grief and building resilience that provide comfort and healing to the community we all serve. They are looking for partner organizations who will alert their memberships about this important event and urge them to attend through their networks. COTW is facing a budget shortfall, and the success of this event will help fill in that gap to provide critical services, chaplaincy, and care to many of our unhoused friends. Please help us spread the word and attend!
