YOU HAVE MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE!
If you haven’t yet donated, please remember the Council with a gift. Checks are processed by the date you write them; not by the date they are received in our office.
No gift is ever too early or too late; too large or too small.

Olin College Professor [and Needham resident] Caitrin Lynch taught a 1st year Olin class “Dirt to Shirt”.
Students toured the Council Thrift Shop with Executive Director, Sandy Robinson. Each selected an item of clothing for use during the class. The final project for each student was presented at the recent Needham Winter Arts Festival and were offered to visitors for a donation to the Council Thrift Shop fund; over $600 was raised from this project.

We are grateful to EVERYONE who supported Council Holiday Programs this season.
These are some of the organizations that donated toys, food, Christmas Trees, volunteers, gift cards and/or funds to make sure all Needham residents had something to celebrate! …and, thanks to all the individuals who shopped at the Council Holiday Boutique, donated items, sent financial donations, gift cards, holiday decorations, delivered gift bags, delivered meals, and more…..
Thanks to the generous donations from North Hill residents & staff and the Needham Exchange Club members the Council conference room is filled [not just filled, but overflowing!] with toys, games, bikes, bike helmets, scooters, foos ball tables, stuffed animals, art supplies, dolls, trucks, building blocks, and more… just one part of the Council holiday gift giving program for Needham families with limited income.
