Army of Good, once again, you’ve shown the world what good, empathy, and compassion mean. There were 20 items on the Cambridge Pantry Amazon Wish yesterday; half of them were taken off last night.
Sarah says most of the remaining items are nearly sold out; she added several more because the always-popular baking/mixes are completely out of stock. So I’m posting the four baking items she hopes to get (none left at the Pantry), and I’m adding the 13 remaining items on the list in case we can knock them off as well.
Your commitment is amazing. It means a lot more than one Pantry being helped; it speaks to the power of human beings to care for one another and our sacred obligation to try and do so. I can’t possibly thank you enough, but maybe we can skim down the remaining items; half of them, Sarah says, are nearly filled.
One of the pantracker stackers told me yesterday that in 20 years of volunteering, she had never seen the shelves so empty. We have already changed that picture. I’ve added the last 10 items that the Pantry needs to fill the shelves below.

There is joy in giving; we don’t blame people experiencing poverty for being poor. We don’t care who voted or which color they chose. We help when we can.

All over the country, food Pantries are struggling, and the Cambridge Pantry is no exception. But I marvel at how these people keep improving what they offer, how they look, and how they treat people in need of food. Take a look at what they have done. These people are worth supporting.
