Message To The Pantry Volunteers: “Cheers to all of you volunteers! You model kindness and care for all of us.” From Antoniette Tadiolini, Army of Good.

At the Cambridge Food Pantry, people are asked what they miss, what they can afford, and what they want. They aren’t simply offering take-it-or-leave-it food. The “customers ” are treated with courtesy and welcome; no one leaves feeling ashamed, ignored, or uncared for.

They aren’t simply handed boxes without knowing what is in them. They have few, if any, choices in many places, as many as possible at the Cambridge Pantry. We help the Pantry honor those requests; the impact on morale is enormous.

So many people were coming to the Cambridge Pantry that they had to limit it to people who lived in the area. Thanks for helping to make this possible.
