The Council of Social Concern is a charitable, community-based agency, responding to the basic needs of people of all ages, providing early childhood education and care, helping individuals develop their potential, creating positive family and community relationships, and fostering respect for diversity.  

Since its inception the Council of Social Concern has provided social and educational services that have helped tens of thousands of the area’s most vulnerable individuals, including abused and neglected children, seniors, low-income working parents, households experiencing food insecurity, and immigrants. All of their programs serve individuals and families from Winchester and Woburn.  This year we are focusing on the needs of the Food Pantry and the Children’s Center.

Somerville Homeless Coalition (SHC) was created by the local community’s grassroots response to the social crisis of homelessness in 1985. Neighbors, community activists, university students, faith-based leaders, business supporters and city officials united to address the escalating problem of homelessness within Somerville. These collaborative efforts resulted in the opening of the city’s first emergency shelter and the establishment of SHC.

SHC transforms lives by providing services, support, resources and housing to well over 8,000 individuals and households. SHC’s emergency response programs include an Adult Shelter, Food Program and supportive services. The housing programs involve Homeless Prevention and providing Affordable Housing with home-based Supportive Services to the most at-risk homeless individuals and families in our community.
