Other Ways of Supporting Our Work

A gift of goods or services can help Charles River Community Health stretch our financial resources even further. Thank you for your generous support!

Events are a great way to financially support Charles River Community Health! By choosing us as a beneficiary of your upcoming event, you not only raise much needed funds but bring awareness to the community about the great work we do.

Charles River Community Health can receive a penny every time you search the internet! Visit GoodSearch to start raising funds.

We are also collecting gift cards from area food markets,  including Star Market/Shaw’s, Market Basket, and Stop & Shop

Please drop them off at our Brighton or Waltham entrances during our regular business hours so that our nurses and community health staff can add them to our inventory for distribution to patients facing food insecurity. 

Please provide your name and email or mailing address so that we can send a thank-you acknowledging your generosity! 

You can also mail them to: Charles River Community Health Donations, 495 Western Avenue, Brighton, MA 02135 Attn: Community Health Manager.
