It feels great to send at least one urgently needed item to the Cambridge Food Pantry each morning. It is inexpensive, and the good it does to me and my soul is priceless. Like my friend Eddie, a pantry volunteer, I keep thinking of hungry children and their parents getting to eat. Small acts of great kindness do me great good.

Sara Harrington, the Pantry Director, has given me a list of things that run out the fastest and are most wanted.

Today’s requested food is Prego Pasta Sauce, 24 ounces, case of 12. It is $15.84 per pack on the Amazon Wish List. 

The needed food tomorrow will be baked beans, $17.52 per case.

You can go here to choose additional items from the wish list.  Thank you; you are making a huge difference. The volunteers can hardly believe the good food pouring in.
