We had a wonderful time celebrating the hard work that our Guild community does to fight food insecurity every day. Thanks to generous sponsors, guests, and donors, we raised more than $130,000 in crucial funding as we head into the winter season.
A heartfelt thank you to Gala Chair Barbara Janelli and Vice Chair Nancy Gustafson—and to everyone involved—for making this our most successful fundraising gala to date!
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!
During Hunger Action Month in September, our High Five for $5 campaign spread awareness about food insecurity. Thanks to everyone’s selfie posts and donations, we raised $4,591.76 in just one month, which helped provide 9,183 meals for those in need!
UPCOMING HOLIDAY PROGRAMS
While the winter holidays bring joy and cheer to many people, it is also a time of tighter budgets. As temperatures drop, some of our neighbors will have to choose between heat and food. Here’s how we support our community during this season:
At the Charity Guild Food Pantry at Brockton High School, students receive 4 precooked Thanksgiving meals to share with loved ones.
We share with clients information about the City of Brockton’s Thanksgiving turkey giveaway on November 24 at City Hall.
BE A HOLIDAY HELPER
Helping Hands, Warm Hearts: With The Beanery and Vertec leading this program, we provide Christmas gifts to senior citizens living at Caffrey Towers along with 300+ pre-cooked meals.
One of the best ways that you can help this holiday season is through a monetary donation to the Charity Guild— host a Coin & Dollar Drive! Because of our limited storage space, your monetary donations help us purchase fresh foods at the right time and ensure that senior citizens, students, and neighbors in need have healthy food this holiday season. Please email donate@thecharityguild.org to coordinate.

FRESH FOOD FACT
Our team works hard to keep our Food Pantry stocked with FRESH bread, eggs, chicken, fruits and vegetables. Q: How many loaves of bread do we distribute each month? Your monetary donations make this happen.
