The Charity Guild, Inc. Food Pantry and Thrift Shop


The Charity Guild has immediate openings for volunteers in both our Thrift Shop and Food Pantry.

Hours are flexible and you have the opportunity to work in a relaxed, fun environment while you are helping both the Charity Guild and our clients.

By enlisting the aid of many volunteers, the Charity Guild is able to keep expenses low and concentrate funds on providing food to families and individuals in the greater Brockton area.

The benefits of helping in the shop or pantry are significant. It is a very hands-on experience and volunteers actually see and talk to the people they are helping. Knowing that you are touching the lives of so many in such a positive way is a truly rewarding experience.

Students may be able to complete their required Community Service hours in the Thrift Shop or Food Pantry.

For more information, call Lynne (508) 583-5280 or visit www.thecharityguild.org.
