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
