A million thank yous, Army Of Good, from Sarah Harrington, the Executive Director of the Cambridge Food Pantry, the heroically dedicated volunteers, the hundreds of families who come to the Pantry every week to help feed their families and children, and everyone who believes in helping neighbors and comforting those who are struggling and have nowhere else to turn.
Your support is invaluable, and we are deeply grateful for your contributions.
This is another triumph for good, for the teaching of Jesus Christ and so many other leaders, and for the excellent and generous spirit that speaks to the heart of America. We help those who need help.
This afternoon, the volunteers wrestled, busy unpacking and distributing the foods you sent that arrived today. The Amazon truck was loaded.
“This means so much to us and our guests,” said Sarah in this message. “It is a game changer; you have all made an enormous difference and brightened the lives of many struggling people. Thank you so much.”
These photos were just taken this afternoon. They show the Army of Goods’s response to requests for help in getting coffee, breakfast cereal, warm and healthy soups, and beans all in time for the distributions on Wednesday and Saturday and for the children’s backpacks to be distributed this Thursday.
Sarah says more is coming, according to Amazon messages, and I hope we make it clear how appreciated this is and how much of a change it has made for these families and their children.
For the first time, we have enough cereal to last several weeks. The joy and relief on the faces of the families when they received this staple item was palpable. Your contribution is making a real difference in their lives.
Coffee, a rare commodity on our pantry shelves, is the most challenging thing to keep in stock. Your donation of this precious item is unique and valuable, so we ensure we have it for a week or two. It’s a small but significant miracle for our guests. God Bless You.
You can browse the Cambridge Pantry Amazon Food Wish List anytime, day or night, by going to this link or the green button at the bottom of every blog post. The list is updated constantly, and everything on it is needed and wanted.
The pantry is unique in one way—guests have a say in what they receive; it’s not a take-it-or-leave-it place. You are helping to preserve the morale and dignity of people struggling for sound footing.
Sarah’s vision is to be the best food pantry in America. She’s on the way. You are helping her get there.
