“This breakfast helps raise awareness for Chelsea’s ‘hidden poverty’,” says Julie Porter, Chelsea High School senior and Yellow Door volunteer. “Everyone at school agrees this is important and has enthusiastically responded to helping kids in our school district. You get a great meal, eat with people in the community and support a great cause.”
The Alehouse is in the Clocktower Complex on North Main Street in downtown Chelsea.
