A charitable, community-based agency responding to the basic needs of people of all ages

Council of Social Concern (with legal name of Woburn Council of Social Concern, Inc) was founded in 1969 by a group of concerned citizens who wanted to promote a sense of "neighborliness" in the community and address the absence of quality, affordable childcare and housing issues. Today, the Council of Social Concern assists over 2,700 individuals per year, with the support of approximately 270 volunteers. We provide a range of services to address community needs:

•Safe, affordable, quality child care through our Children's Center and Family Childcare System
•Parenting and wellness education and supervised visitation services through our Family Skill Building Program
•Food assistance and community resource education through our Food Pantry
•Information and referral

We hope everyone has a safe, happy, and spooktacular Halloween!

A little building facelift turned into a trip down memory lane!

As we clean things up and make room for a fresh look, we’ve been uncovering old folders filled with photos, newspaper clippings, and even a blast from the past… a FLOPPY DISC!

It’s so fun to look back at the memories, milestones, and moments that have helped shape the Council of Social Concern over the years. So much has changed, but one thing remains the same: our commitment to helping our neighbors.

Who remembers using a floppy disc? We have a feeling some of you might have a few stories to share!
