Let’s Collaborate

WELCOME TO THE CHARITY GUILD FAMILY! Dear Friends, We at TCG are so very grateful for your keeping us in your thoughts and for your interest in lending us a hand. Your support of our mission will continue to provide not only food but also comfort to those seniors, students and families who turn to us for assistance in times of stress.

Currently, we are serving more than 27,000 individuals in our community annually who know that we understand their struggles and that we are here to help. Among the many, are students who frequent our pantry at Brockton High School, senior citizens and others who are homebound, and those suddenly faced with an emergency. The needs are ever-present.

We hope for your partnership as we work together to positively impact the lives of those who struggle. So many need the help of those who care.

Appreciatively, Laura Striese Executive Director, The Charity Guild

PARTNERSHIP STORIES

THE BEANERY & VERTEC CORP The Beanery, Vertec Corp. and The Guild host annual get-togethers with seniors to ask them what daily essentials would make their lives easier. With the assistance of our partners and community members we ensure local seniors receive what they need and are remembered during the holiday season.

DELIVERIES WITH BROCKTON FIRE DEPT.

SATELLITE PANTRIES

With the help of the Brockton Fire Department we are able to provide deliveries to seniors and the homebound

We facilitate a food pantry day at Bel Air Tower, and serve students in need at Brockton High School with our on-campus pantry.
