Thank you to all of the members who donated to our annual Food Drive. We are so grateful and appreciative of your overwhelming support for our neighbors in need and Middlesex Human Service Agency.

This holiday season will be brighter for many families within our local community.

Every year, our Annual Member Appreciation Party is our way of showing thanks to our valued members and dedicated staff. It’s an evening full of celebration and fun with lawn games, raffles, and lite bites and delicious treats – generously donated by our wonderful sponsors: Bistro781, Moozy’s Ice Cream, City Streets Restaurant, Mighty Squirrel Brewery, Quebrada Baking Co., Crumbl Cookies, Pizzi Farm, Birdie Bar, Ailish & Aston Salon & Spa, A Marginal Existence Cards & Calendars by Aaron Needle, and Patricia Webb Folk Art.

At the event, our charity partners, Healthy Waltham & Our Space, collected new items to support their respective programs & services.

Team Waverley Oaks had a blast running The Becca Pizzi 5k Run/Walk! All race proceeds benefit the Becca Pizzi Foundation for the purpose of awarding Belmont High School student/athlete scholarships.

Since the race’s inception, The Becca Pizzi Foundation has awarded over 50k in scholarships and sports equipment for Belmont High School.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

We are thrilled to share that our Summer Clothing Drive was a huge success thanks to our incredibly generous members. Hundreds of items of clothing were collected for our neighbors in need, and the Community Day Center of Waltham was able to distribute the clothing to three organizations:

– Community Day Center of Waltham. A local non-profit organization dedicated to providing goods and services to individuals experiencing homelessness. The donations received from Waverley Oaks members were instrumental in the opening of their new “shop” (pictured) where Day Center clients can select new clothes at no charge.

– Veterans. The center provides much-needed clothing to support our veterans, showing them the gratitude and care they deserve. ⁠

– Neighbors Who Care. An organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for older adults. Their thrift shop supports their mission: to reduce elder isolation/loneliness for seniors living in the greater Waltham area.

Thank you to all the donors who donated blood at the blood drive on June 5th. The turnout was incredibly successful and many lives will be impacted thanks to your generous donations.

Nearly all the available appointments for the day were booked resulting in over 50 donations which will help up to 150 patients. Donating blood is crucial as it saves lives and supports healthcare systems, and we look forward to hosting the Mass General Hospital Bloodmobile again soon!

We couldn’t have asked for better weather for our Member Appreciation Day on May 22nd as temperatures soared to nearly 90 degrees!

THANK YOU to our members for your continued support. We appreciate our community of staff & members who make Waverley Oaks the wonderful place that it is.
