About this Shelter

Since 1987, First Church Shelter has provided a basic act of mercy to the poor and homeless of Cambridge and surrounding communities.

Each evening 14 men are provided with a safe, comfortable place to stay.

Their guests have access to two meals, showers and personal storage facilities for their belongings.

First Church Shelter also offers guests assistance with identifying and securing resources they need to move out of homelessness.

A significant portion of that assistantance comes from a partnership between the Shelter and Homestart.
