Every day, Sarah Harrington, our esteemed director at the Cambridge Food Pantry, tirelessly seeks ways for us to contribute easily, swiftly, and economically. She’s a master at spotting bargains in the vast realm of Amazon, ensuring the pantry shelves are stocked as the demand for food escalates.
At low cost, we can make an enormous difference in the work of the food pantry and the lives of the people who seek its help.
The number of families searching for food for their families is growing, and many families have large numbers of children. The shelves keep emptying.
Most of the food comes from the regional pantry food bank; some becomes unavailable, and the pantry doesn’t get to choose what they receive. We try to fill that cap through small acts of great kindness.
Both of today’s meals cost less than $3. That money can do a lot of good at the food pantry.
My understanding of deals on Amazon was deepened when I started building the wish lists for the Mansion and Sue Silverstein’s Art Program.
Sarah’s first choice for today, Friday, May 24, is Armour Star Corned Beef Hash, Hearty Homestyle, Canned Food, 14 Ox, which costs $2.48.
The Second Choice is Prego Traditional Pasta Sauce, 45 Oz Jar. $2.99.
We can do a lot of good for $5.47. These are the items the customers and children miss and ask for.
We prepare food backpacks for the children of the Pantry families in need. We try to give them enough food to last through the holiday or any weekend and beyond.
well, if you didn’t have to go outside in your robe (or nothing at all) you wouldn’t give all insects a field day…if only you had some of that great old “common sense”…what makes you think people can’t live without your flower photos? or blog, for that matter.??? itch, scratch, itch…
I love you, Karma. I can’t live without you, and, you can’t live without me, or you wouldn’t be writing messages like this. Does this mean you’re not donating to the food pantry? You seem so full of empathy and compassion.
