Established on January 30, 1920, the League of Women for Community Service (LWCS) acquired 558 Massachusetts Avenue, a property with historical significance in Boston, MA, from Eliza Farwell, widow of Nathaniel Farwell, a notable textile merchant. This organization was founded with a noble mission—to engage in civic, social, educational, and charitable endeavors to uplift the Black community in Boston. Since its inception, the League has been dedicated to introducing a diverse array of social service initiatives, aiming to make a positive impact on the lives of those it serves.
Today, the LWCS stands as a pillar of community service, actively carrying out its civic and social programs with a steadfast commitment to improving the welfare of Boston residents. With a rich history that spans over a century, the League is poised to continue its legacy well into the 21st century and beyond, ensuring that its contributions to the community endure and flourish for generations to come.
