COMMUNITY SERVICES
SOCIAL SERVICES
The Kennedy Center’s five case managers (three of whom are fluent in Spanish or Mandarin) provide residents of Charlestown with a variety of social services to overcome the stressors related to poverty, assisting them to develop skills to help themselves. They staff the Children’s Programs, the Community Resource Center and our central office at 10 City Square. They help residents find resources, obtain counseling for a range of issues, find jobs or education opportunities, and help with emergency needs. They can also help residents coordinate services from other providers. The aim is to give people a hand up, not a hand-out. Call 617-241-8866 for assistance or email us at info@kennedycenter.org.
EMERGENCY SERVICES
The Kennedy Center’s case managers can help out with emergency food, fuel, health care, housing, and clothing. They coordinate services with other providers such as the Salvation Army, the Charlestown Fireman’s Fund, and Traveler’s Aid, and are able to utilize other private resources. Call 617-241-8866 for assistance or more information or write us at info@kennedycenter.org.
