General Information
All services are free Assistance is provided by delivery only — no pick-ups at our facility. Our Christmas Assistance Program serves families all over eastern Massachusetts including Boston and Cape Cod. We do not go to Framingham or points west. All requests are processed by phone. We cannot accept e-mail requests or requests made in-person at our facility due to staffing limitations. Our Christmas Assistance Line is very busy because we serve families from so many communities. We will ask for the names, birthdates, clothing size, and gift ideas for each person in your family living at your home. My Brother’s Keeper only accepts requests from parents in need. We do not accept second-hand requests from family, friends, or advocates. (For example, “I’m calling for a friend who needs help.”) Gift ideas are suggestions only- we do not guarantee to provide specific gifts. My Brother’s Keeper cannot give out high-end electronic items like iPods, cell phones, or game systems. Gifts are delivered directly to homes sometime between December 1st – 24th. Our volunteers call ahead to schedule delivery appointments. To help with scheduling, our intake staff will always ask for two telephone numbers when processing request

Westgate Mall has partnered with the African American Association of Brockton to host their third annual Toy Giveaway this holiday season.
The toy giveaway will run Saturdays + Sundays in December leading up to Christmas. Last year, the initiative served over 600 families in the local Brockton community; this year the organization expects to help up to 1,500 families in need in the community.
In addition to toys, the drive also provides winter coats, hats and more. The Toy Drive is free, and children must be present to receive toys.

You can receive food by visiting the food pantry or soup kitchen when it’s open. Make sure to check each resource page to see details like address, full schedule, and requirements.
Delivery services are very limited and are reserved for senior citizens or those with serious medical problems. If you believe you fall into either category, let us know and we may be able to help you find options.
Every location is different! Please review the details included on each resource to see whether you need to bring any documentation like ID or proof of address, or supplies like bags to carry the food. If you don’t see any information on the resource, you don’t have to bring anything!

Every location is different! Some places accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.
Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.
Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.
