With Cambridge homeless shelters facing operational challenges due to Covid-19, the First Church in Cambridge raised more than $30,000 for two projects supporting unhoused residents during its annual fundraising gala Saturday night. The virtual gala — which featured Government professor Michael J. Sandel as a guest speaker — raised a total of $33,500 through ticket sales to more than 200 people as well as donations. The money will fund the church’s 14-bed men’s shelter, in operation since 1987. Since the start of the pandemic, the location shifted from an overnight to a 24/7 shelter. The money raised will also support the Church s Friday Café — a program that offers meals and other resources to the homeless.
