I got the chills when I saw the boxes arriving from Amazon, day after day. The Army of Good has come through again and again, but this one made the cake. I’ve never seen Sarah and the Volunteers look as worried. They are all smiling today. In the above photo, the Amazon trucks kept delivering. Amazon Driver Arianna arrived Friday evening with another truckload. See what you did.

These shelves said it all. Mostly empty just a few days ago, they are full and waiting for the families to come and get them. That’s what it’s all about.

The shelves were literally empty for many of their most needed and wanted foods. The Army of Good eliminated three separate Amazon Pantry wish lists in two days. They are still coming after I posted the slarm – they were out of food. The answer was a wave of love and caring. It sure lifted my heart.

The Army of Good speaks for faith, empathy, and love for people. There is no more important message going out anywhere. Thanks. You are amazing people from all over the country who remind us over and over again that people are good, given the chance.

Those are smiles of relief you see. I think I shed some tears, maybe on the way home, but I’m not certain. They were all working on getting those boxes opened, registered, and brought to the food room and the storage bins. Their faces said it all. THANK YOU!

You brought smiles to the Pantry volunteers and kept them happy and busy. You have made the Pantry families happy as well. Can’t thank you enough. They were sweating it for a few days. You’ve brought a lot of smiles back.

The Army of Good has demonstrated once more that there is Joy in kindness. There is no joy in hatred.

You can help the Cambridge Food Pantry at any time, especially this week, by browsing the Amazon Food Wish List, which is continuously updated. Everything on the list is urgently needed. You can access the Food List anytime by clicking any link here or by the green button at the bottom of every blog post.

Some people adopt particular items they see by regularly buying them. Your help makes an enormous difference; you are very much appreciated.

Sarah was emptying the Army of Good Boxes for several days. She was very happy. There was a lot of tension and worry in the Pantry before the boxes came pouring in. They are still coming.

The weekend crew is busy stacking the Army of Good Boxes, which took a lot of time.

I love the smiles and the faces of the Pantry volunteers—such good people.
