We would like to thank the community for the hundreds of generous donations of new and unused school supplies for our eighth annual distribution for income-eligible students on Thursday, August 22nd.

Needham families, residents and companies donated school supplies, tissues, hand sanitizer, crayons, etc. along with gift cards to Staples. Every student was offered a backpack to fill and a gift card to Staples to help them purchase supplies not available in the distribution; and every student going to Needham High received the school’s daily planner.

The goal of this program is to send all of our students back to school with the supplies needed to succeed; no matter their income or grade level….students from K through college were invited to participate. Council volunteers sorted, organized, set up & assisted with the distribution event…it takes a village!

In addition to meeting the needs of income-eligible students, Needham classroom teachers and guidance counselors have been invited to visit the Council and select supplies needed for their students. As we know, most classroom teachers spend significant amounts of their own funds to help supply their classrooms and students…this program makes it a bit easier for them.

The can & bottle redemption shack at the RTS is BACK! 
Donate your cans & bottles and turn them into MILK!

Needham resident, Jeff Dinneen has been collecting and recycling around town…Now his project will be at the Needham RTS and easily available to all who want to donate their can & bottle deposits. Jeff recycles the donated cans & bottles and then uses the funds collected to purchase milk for the Council Food Pantry.  We, in turn, distribute the milk to income-eligible Needham residents….a WIN/WIN!

Thank you to Jeff and to the Town of Needham for supporting this very worthy project!
