Thanks so much for sending Condiments and cereal. Life has gotten more complicated for the Pantry.
The Cambridge Pantry normally receives at least 7 cases of food and other items from the food bank, but this time she received none, which will affect the shelves and the items that go on them.

Today, Sarah said Canned Corn would be an important item to send; she is trying to adapt to the new reality. Stocking is central now; they can’t really count on anything for sure.
We are helping.
“I appreciate what the Army of Good is doing,” she said. “We are in better shape than we were a week ago.” But in worse shape than before the new wave of cuts from New York State.
Sending some canned corn would help; it’s a vital source of vitamin C for the families. If you are so inclined, please scan the Wish List. More cereal would be helpful; she needs to stock things more than ever.
She got a lot of cereal, but she hopes for more. The Wish List has about 24 items on it now. Please- if you can – see if you want to send any. Sarah is thinking ahead; those empty shelves are unnerving. And thanks. I call it browsing for joy.

She put some emphasis on these items:
Quaker Life Breakfast Cereal (3 Pack), $17.52.
Rice Chex Gluten Free Cereal, $3.98.
