Our chapter sponsors a room at Philoxenia House, which provides free temporary housing for individuals and families, most of whom come from Greece, who receive medical treatment at the prestigious Boston hospitals.
We have a drive twice a year for Homecoming baskets for Operation Homecoming. A mission to assist homeless veterans in transitioning to independent living
Council of Social Concern:
At Christmas we sponsor a drive to purchase gifts for the children of needy families of Woburn, as well as donating to the Council’s food pantry - and much more!
Our chapter meets on the second Tuesday of the month from September through June with the exception of January and February. In January we do not meet and in February we sponsor Go Red Sunday for women’s heart health.
