“Expanding our hours is something we’ve wanted to do for some time,” said Joe Mina, Director of the
Pearl Street Cupboard & Café.” “Adding Tuesdays and Thursday to our schedule allows us to meet
the needs of more individuals and families, and utilize our staff and volunteers who generously give
so much of their time, more efficiently,” Mina adds.
