Sarah’s choice for the day’s food needs is the cheapest yet: Kraft Tuscan House Italian Salad Dressing, 16.0z, $2.58.

The second item on the list (it needs no explanation) is Art and Hammer Ultra Max Fresh Scent Persperant Spray Deodorant, 26 ox., pack of six. $19.89

I wondered how the Easter holiday would affect our building momentum, but I needn’t have worried.

 

Sarah said this was the second delivery; the first was much larger, or as Sarah put it, “they sent a lot of stuff.”

I understand there will be ebbs and flows, but this is one of the least expensive and most convenient ways to help people I know. I have never been prouder to be a member of the Army Of Good, and the spirits will thank you all.

I’ll buy four bottles of dressing tonight. People are sick of  Mean and want something gentler, kinder, and more compassionate.

 

 

People might like to see the shelves where the customers, as Sarah calls them, come to pick out the foods and supplies that they want. By Saturday, everything on this shelf will be gone. The Army of Goods is not the only supplier; supermarkets, farmers, individual donors, and volunteers have kept the food pantry going for years.

But we are filling some significant holes; we are making a difference. I can feel the need and the love; it’s pretty beautiful. It’s very powerful.

If you are sending food from someplace other than Amazon, the correct address is Sarah Harrington, Cambridge Food Pantry, 24 E. Main Street, Cambridge, New  York, 12816.
