Pantry Director Sarah Harrington focused on hygiene and tooth health today. The pantry is running out of toothpaste for children and customers. She always searched for the best food at the lowest price to help us get food they couldn’t order or afford. She’s done it again.

Today’s choice is Colgate Max Fresh Whitening Toothpaste with Mini Strips, Clean Mint Toothpaste for Bad Breath, Helps Fight Cavities, Whitens Teeth, and Freshens Breath, 6.3 Ounce (Pack of 4,$13.70)

I’m sure anyone reading this grasps the importance of toothpaste; they don’t need a speech from me. This is one of the very important requests.

Yesterday, Sarah found one of Amazon’s most significant deals, Happy Belly Black Beans, 15 Ounce (Pack of 1), for $1.

According to the Mayo Clinic, black beans are one of the healthiest foods for babies and young children. We can still take advantage of this price: one dollar for one can of black beans.

To buy these foods or any others, you can go to the Amazon Cambridge Food Pantry and see the items on their wish list, which is updated daily.
