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.
