As many of you know, Food Pantries and programs ard struggling all over the country.
I wanted to explain why the Cambridge Pantry is holding its own. First, Sarah Harrington, the Pantry Director, is one of the most competent, organized, and savvy leaders I’ve encountered in my long life in media, TV, and publishing. She is a wonderful director and is working miracles. It’s a rough job. Her leadership has inspired me and others.
The second reason is the extraordinary volunteer force from Cambridge, working every day under difficult circumstances to make the very complex Pantry work. Their community is behind them.
And last but not least, the Army of Good, which has stayed loyally with the Pantry through all of this trouble and is keeping the best items and foods on the shelves. Sarah: “We would have many empty shelves if the Army of Good were not supporting us. Other Pantries are really hurting. We are going through our supplies quickly, but our Pantry is hanging in there. Thank you for that.”

Jon…..I was accused wrongly of animal cruelty. The dog catchers came because a neighbor turned me in for having a skinny horse. She was 36 years old. I had her since she was 6 months old. Part of my family. I essentially had her here in horse hospice. It cost me over 25,000.00 dollars in court costs. I feel for the farmer you mentioned.
