About this organization
Cambridge Shelter Corporation (CSC) grew out of the Out of the Cold program in Cambridge. Beginning in 1998, Out of the Cold operated out of seven local churches for 7 winters. The program was entirely volunteer-driven and ran from November 1 to March 31. Out of the Cold provided an evening meal, overnight shelter (on mats with pillows and blankets) and breakfast.
After the second winter, it became apparent to the Out of the Cold Coordinating Committee that although we were providing shelter during the coldest part of the year, our guests were turned out April 1 to go back to a life of living under bridges, in parks and in abandoned buildings until the program opened again the next November. Also, clients who seemed to be making some improvement in their lives during the winter, often suffered significant setbacks when they lost the support of the volunteers.
