Another weekend miracle strike from the Army of Good. As Sarah likes to say, “the Spaghetti and Meatballs were ‘stacked,” which means a truckload is heading from Amazon to Cambridge that will fill the shelves and the food display.
Sarah says enough $1 cans will stack the shelves and save some for the future. Thanks so much for taking advantage of Amazon’s $1 special.
The Amazon trucks are on the way; the families will get the dinners they love. You are a huge morale boost for the Pantry Volunteers and the people they serve, ambassadors for good.
These are hard days for Food Pantries; you make them so much brighter. This is what America is all about.
The rising cost of food makes these purchases of personal devices more and more difficult for women. We have been filling those shelves for more than a year.
Today, Sarah seeks to stock the Women’s shelf, a unique offering of the Cambridge Pantry.

Jack was in movies in Hollywood; he retired from that and devotes some of his time to driving trucks from the Food Bank to the Pantry. He is an incredibly nice person.
As you can see, he hasn’t lost his acting touch.

The Pantry needs more help than ever. We can help the Pantry at any time, especially these days, by browsing the Amazon Cambridge Pantry 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 regularly buy particular items they see on the wish list. Donors and the government are steadily cutting their support. Your help makes an enormous difference; you are very much appreciated. We give what no one else can. We do what is requested by those who need it. We won’t abandon them or let them down. Just as they work hard to keep the visitors’ spirits up, we can do the same thing. We did it last week for sure “Somebody’s’s got our bac”,” said one of the Pantry Volunteers” “bless them, bless the”.”

Up and down, joy wherever you look. I’m proud to be involved.
