About

In 2023, 36% of Plymouth County households reported food insecurity. The Charity Guild is a food pantry in Brockton, MA that provides fresh, nutritious food to 2,000 neighbors every month. We operate two food pantry locations—Main Street in downtown Brockton and inside Brockton High School—and provide home deliveries to seniors.

Founded in 1971 by a group of caring individuals, The Charity Guild has served the Greater Brockton community for 50+ years. Our mission remains the same: “To provide basic and necessary services to those unable to meet their primary needs of food, clothing, and household goods.” We cater to clients’ specific needs and adjust orders to suit families with children, senior citizens, those with dietary restrictions, those who are homebound, those experiencing homelessness and those who may be temporarily displaced.

In September 2020, our food storage capacity was expanded by 75% with the help of funding from the Brockton Redevelopment Authority (BRA). This could not have come at a more critical time. When the pandemic hit in March of 2020, food pantry client numbers dramatically increased, and high grocery prices have continued ever since.
