Needham Community Council

The Needham Community Council is a private non-profit organization based in Needham, Massachusetts. It is a small organization with 18 employees. The Needham Community Council provides a wide range of services to Needham residents, focusing on those with unmet health, educational, or social needs. These services include operating the town's food pantry, offering door-to-door transportation for medical appointments, sponsoring a van service for residents to access essential services, providing visits to local nursing and rehabilitation homes, and sponsoring an English as a Second Language (ESL) tutoring program for adults.
