The Wayland Community Fund serves Wayland residents who need financial assistance

During the past fiscal year, the Wayland Community Fund provided $ 28,717 in financial assistance to Wayland residents. Overdue utilities accounted for 35% of the expenditures, rent 24% with the remainder covering a wide variety of bills including medical costs, food, and children’s’ items. The Wayland residents who were helped included elderly individuals with serious illnesses, single parents who were out of work, a severely disabled parent with small children, and a family who had taken in children who were at risk.

The WCF is staffed by five volunteers who cover all operating expenses. It receives no public funding.

More information on the fund, including who it serves, and how to donate, is available on the Wayland town website online here.
