Ana Maria is receiving food from our Pearl Street Cupboard & Café (PSCC) in Framingham. The food pantry and hot meal program serves thousands of individuals and families in Framingham and across the MetroWest region each month.

Ana Maria and her son, a disabled U.S. Marine veteran, are on a fixed income and rely on our help.

“I always pray and say thanks to God,” Ana Maria said.

“It’s a blessing, you know.”

Ana has suffered two strokes and because she lost balance, uses a walker to get around. She loves coming to the Pearl Street Café for dinner, so they can sit down and be served a hot, nutritious meal. Food and meals at the Pearl Street Cupboard & Café are always free to anyone in need.

Since extra SNAP benefits recently ended, keeping our shelves stocked is more difficult than ever. Donations tend to decline after the holidays and spring and summer are the most challenging time of year to provide adequate amounts of food to those we serve.
