Pearl Street Cupboard & Café at Park

 

 

Our Mission

At Pearl Street Cupboard & Café at Park our mission is to give support to individuals and families who find themselves experiencing economic and personal challenges by providing food assistance and programs that promote self-sufficiency.
There is no charge for our services.

Some of the services that we can help you with include: groceries, hot meals, pet food when available, summer meals for school age children as well as other local assistance programs and services.

Pearl Street Cupboard & Café at Park serves thousands of your neighbors each month and we rely on contributions and volunteers to do the work. We truly cannot do it without you!

Please consider a donation or come make a difference as a volunteer. You will be glad you did!

How to Run a Successful Food Drive

 Get Organized 

  • We'll work with you to determine our most-needed items.

  • Make it easy to give. Decide on a drop-off location. We will provide the materials to promote your drive (flyers, boxes, brochures).

 Communicate Clearly 

  • Educate everyone about the issue you are addressing, and its impact in your community.

  • Set a goal. Make sure it is challenging but achievable.

  • Run a themed drive. We have lots of ideas for themes and catchy slogans.

  • Thank your donors. We can provide you with final results and information you can share.

 Provide Incentives 

  • Organize contests. Try to arrange friendly competition and offer prizes to the team that brings in the most donations.

 Schedule a Delivery or Pick-Up Date 

  • Coordinate with the United Way staff to schedule a time for pick-up or delivery of your donated foods. We can pick them up at your organization, or you can deliver them straight to one of our Food Pantry locations in Framingham, Marlborough or Clinton
