Sarah’s Food Choice, Cambridge Food Pantry. Let The Sun Come In

by Jon Katz

It’s finally a beautiful day here. I hope this is true for you all. If you feel low or itchy about helping someone else, there are two ideas for you today. One Wish List item is Sarah’s choice, and one is mine.

(Above, Sarah Harrington, 24 E. Main Street, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.

The good goes to people struggling to feed their families. Every bit helps. She needs everything on the wish list.

Sarah chose Campbell’s Chunky Soup, Steak and Potato Soup, 16. oz. can (Case of 8), $23.34. This is the first item on the Wish List.

The second item on the list, my choice, is the second item, Pampers Aqua Pure Sensitive Baby Wipes, 99 percent water, hypoallergenic, Unscented, 6 Flip-Top Packs (336 wipes total, by Pampers Health and Beauty.) $17,97. These items are in great demand and low supply, if any.

I can’t afford to donate daily, but I love donating when possible. We do the best that we can for as long as we can. Thanks for your excellent response and your kind messages; I appreciate them. The Army of Good shines bright.

Many pantry guests need help to afford these items, especially diapers.

( Above, pantry volunteer, I don’t usually use names; this way, I can’t misspell or get them wrong.)

Sarah says she is out of salad dressing. On the list is Kraft Thousand Island Salad Dressing, 16 0x bottles (Pack of 6), $20.94.

Nobody expects or is asking people to donate every day, but I can testify that it feels awfully good when I do. We aren’t wealthy either.

These are just some thoughts on a weekend that looks like Spring. We are putting smiles on many faces and food in many bellies, young and old.

If you need or wish to send donations through a source other than Amazon, here is the correct address. Sarah Harrington, Cambridge Food Pantry,  24. E. Main Street, Cambridge, New York, 12816.

Thanks. See you tomorrow.
