About Us:

The Needham Community Council is a private non-profit organization which supports people in Needham who have under-met health, educational or social needs and promotes volunteerism, community and a sense of shared responsibility.

The Needham Community Council receives no Federal, State or Local Tax Dollars. We are funded only by the generosity of our Needham neighbors. 

The Needham Community Council runs a variety of programs that have adapted continually over the years, but our mission remains the same – to extend hospitality to every individual who turns to us with a need.
