Service to the community is a hallmark of Freemasonry around the world. While this takes a varity of forms, the members of Alpha Lodge literally serve the community by working at the Pearl Street Cupboard & Café.
The partnership with the Pearl Street Cupboard & Café was created by Worshipful Brother Donald W. Crookes, Jr., during his term as Master of Alpha Lodge in 2014, and Wor. Bro. Crookes continues to lead and champion our service efforts in the Framingham community.
With the recent relocation of the Salvation Army of Framingham, which no longer has a facility to operate their relief program, the Pearl Street Cupboard & Café is increasing their program from two to five nights per week. Alpha Lodge would like to help through a commitment by our members. If you would like to discuss with us, please complete the How Can I Help form. To learn more, please read on.
Located at 46 Park Street in Framingham, Massachusetts, the Pearl Street Cupboard & Café provides food assistance and programs that promote self sufficiency to individuals and families who find themselves experiencing economic and personal challenges. The organization is part of the United way of Tri-County .
The Pearls Street Cupboard & Café provides meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and members and friends of Alpha Lodge participate on the first Thursday of every month. Should more individuals wish to participate, we will open more dates and will include more dates should more individuals wish to donate their time.
