Troject is tailor made for the Army of Good. Money goes directly to the source of the need.
We help with the goods and brands the pantry can’t afford, or the customers can’t get or afford. We try to fill the space between what the food bank brings and what the people in need of food support can’t afford to buy and sorely miss. We are especially focused on food for the young.
We can’t do it all and can’t make their troubles vanish, but we can make a difference for the people who need food support and their children. Thank you for helping.
Sarah chooses one or two things in great need each day, and I post them on my blog. Amazon delivers them. We skip weekends unless there is something especially urgent.
The people who come to the pantry for help have no choice, we try to get them choices.
Sarah has chosen two things today: food they don’t have and can’t get but want. Thanks so much for your support:
The first is Betty Crocker Gluten Free Potato Buds Potatoes, 13.75 ounces, Pack of 6, $15.76.
Sarah chooses foods that are as healthy as possible and as inexpensive as she can find.
The second need for today is Chef Boyardee Spaghetti and Meatballs, 14.5 ox cans, Pack of 4, $3.99
We can do a lot of good for $3.99.
The above items and others are on the Amazon Cambridge Pantry Wish List. The food is present to go the pantry.
Last week, the pantry served 144 families in one afternoon, plus another 173 bake-pack kilts. It was the busiest day in the pantry’s history. Sarah said the average was 120 families as recently as a month ago. Although Sarah is now, for the first time, able to stockpile some of the items, even those don’t last more than a few days.
One of the things I love about the pantry is its focus in the middle of a challenge. We send them only a couple of days at most because we only send the things we know they want. Pantry providers need help to do that.
Our work is often focused on the children.
“Simple and sweet is the Faith of a child, wide-eyed and holy his trust, little and lowly his heart doth beat solely to give back to god, all he does. His face is as clear as crystal, his kiss as refreshing as ew, the beat of his heart is as music, and his love is as true as the star that shines bright in the heavens – the Northern – before an adieu. H runs to his father and mother to tell the desires of his heart: the world is to his eyes holds no other to whom he may ever impart the needs his little self craves for, the incense from love’s golden heart.” – Her Little Way, the story of St. Terese.
St. Terese inspires me. At 22, she wrote small acts of great kindness, which she called the “Little Way.”
That’s our way, and the White Rose was her symbol.
