Be a Change Maker

The truth about food insecurity: it doesn’t discriminate. Anyone can be affected by a change in circumstances. 

Charity Guild has always relied on kindhearted and generous volunteers and donors to support its mission of providing emergency food assistance to those in need.

Through your time and your giving, you have an incredible impact on the Greater Brockton community. We are immensely grateful!

“I’ve never been a person to have food insecurity, but I can imagine what it’s like. It’s nice knowing I’m helping others not have to struggle with that.”  

—Anthony, The Charity Guild Volunteer

Donate

Monetary donations from companies, individuals, and foundations are critical to our mission of providing fresh, nutritious food to those in need. We receive a weekly delivery from the Greater Boston Food Bank. To make sure we have enough food available, we supplement that by purchasing food from local markets and farms.

We serve 50 households per day at the Main Street pantry; 60 students every Friday at Brockton High School; and 40 home deliveries each Saturday. 

The cost for one full week of The Charity Guild food programs is about $2,500.

Your donation, of any amount, can make a big difference! It will go to work immediately to help feed those in need.

  • Donate Food

    We truly appreciate it when you ask what the community needs, as food on hand varies from week to week.

    We can create a list for you of specific food items you can donate. Please email donate@thecharityguild.org for the list and to schedule a donation day and time.

  • Donate Backpacks

    Every week at Brockton High School, we distribute backpacks of fresh fruit, bread, snacks, and meals to students who need weekend food assistance.

    We appreciate purchases of the specific backpack that we’ve found holds up well and fits all the food.

    Purchase from our Amazon wish list.

  • Donate Blankets

    Every winter, we receive calls from local churches and organizations looking for warm blankets for community members.

    Host a blanket drive to help fulfill this need. Please contact donate@thecharityguild.org to schedule a donation day and time.

  • Host a Coin & Dollar Drive

    Your dollars and coins add up quickly, and they have a BIG impact! At the Charity Guild, our food storage is limited and a monetary donation allows us to stock up at the right time to have fresh foods available when they’re most needed. Email donate@thecharityguild.org to schedule your drive.
