The Charity Guild is a food pantry and thrift shop located at 501 Main Street in Brockton, MA, serving the greater Brockton area. The Guild operates a thrift store which offers high quality, gently used designer and name-brand clothing for men, women and children at reasonable prices. We also carry a wide variety of household goods, small appliances, toys and books. The store is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The funds raised from the sale of goods, together with donations, grants and other fundraising, support the large emergency food pantry we operate. Individuals and families are eligible to receive both perishable [meat, eggs, bread, and when available, fresh fruit and vegetables] and non-perishable [canned goods, cereal and pasta] items. In addition to the basic foods, we often have "extras" such as pastries, crackers, raisins and trail mix which we offer to clients. |

The Charity Guild's New Executive Director
|
June 2010 — The Charity Guild has hired an Executive Director, Michael Molyneux. We have not had an executive director for two years. So to have him will bring many benefits to our organization. Michael has an extensive and interesting background. |
For 23 years, he was an editor for The New York Times. He participated in a Pulitzer Prize-winning 9/11 coverage as a writer of three profiles of World Trade Center victims. Michael’s goal is to use his organizational and writing skills to help a social service agency flourish in this challenging environment. Michael’s career in non-profits is fairly recent. He has done grant writing for the Neponset Valley Philharmonic Orchestra, House of Hope in Warwick, RI, and the Children’s Museum in Easton. He has obtained many sponsors for the Father Bullock Road Race in Sharon and the annual gala for House of Hope. He is a member of the Rotary Club of Sharon and does a lot of fundraising for them as well. |
He wrote the speeches for the Guidance Center of Cambridge which were delivered by their executives honoring the first lady of Massachusetts, Diane Patrick. Educationally speaking, he has a very impressive background. After graduating from Regis High School in New York City, he went on to graduate from Princeton University and Stanford University. We welcome Michael and his wonderful ideas. May he be with us for a very long time to see us through these very trying times.
