Welcome to the Douglass Community Association!
The Douglass Community Association is OPEN. Please do not drop your students off at the Douglass unless they are registered to a specific program. Please contact any specific agency you need within the Douglass for their hours of operation. (See our Programs page).
We pride ourselves in being a safe haven for our youth during our open scheduled times. However, during this time some programming is not up and running.
Diaper Distribution will be outside the building on Tuesdays, from 9:00 a.m. to Noon (or until diapers run out. Please contact our office for scheduled dates). We will have the Mobile Food Initiative outside the building on every third Wednesday.
