Making life more meaningful for adults with Intellectual Disabilities. Walnut Street Center, Inc.

is a nonprofit, human service agency that provides comprehensive support services to adults with Intellectual Disabilities and their families. The agency was founded in 1970 by parents who wanted supports for their children, and other adults who had similar needs, in their community. Walnut Street Center now provides services to people who live in the communities of Medford, Somerville, Cambridge and Arlington, Massachusetts.

04/15/2026

Over 50 years ago, a group of parents had a simple but powerful belief: their children deserved a meaningful life in the community. Today, Walnut Street Center carries that mission forward — supporting 200+ adults with intellectual disabilities across Greater Boston every single day.

This April, your donation helps us keep that promise.

Whether it's a day program, a residential home, or a new opportunity to serve— every dollar funds real support for real people. We're proud to hold a 4-star Charity Navigator rating, and every contribution is put to work where it matters most.

This holiday season, independence looks different for everyone. 🏠✨

For the adults we serve at Walnut Street Center, it might mean preparing their own breakfast in one of our residential homes. Volunteering at a local food pantry. Working on employment skills that lead to meaningful community participation. Or simply making choices about their own daily lives, choices many of us take for granted.

For 55 years, we've been proving that with the right support, every person can live with dignity and purpose in their community. As 2025 comes to a close, we're grateful for supporters who believe in this mission as deeply as we do!

Give before December 31st and make your tax-deductible donation count twice: once for your 2025 taxes, and every day for the individuals who depend on our services.
