In the past couple of weeks, we’ve been concentrating on getting healthy food to the children of the Cambridge families who need food support. The program has been a great success; there was plenty of good for the children at today’s backpack stuffing.

(Above, students from the school pick up the backs at the pantry and discreetly and privately bring them to the school. The families come and get them.)

This week, Pantry Director Sara Harrington is asking for help in giving the parents some relief. She has chosen two items from the Amazon Pantry Wish List. Both are gone from the shelves:

Amazon Fresh  Decaf Columbia Whole Bean Coffee Medium Roast, 12 Ounce (Pack of 3), 19.99 dollars.

And for the family, something else the pantry has run out of:

Swanson White Premium Chunk Canned Chicken, Breast in Water, Fully Cooked Chicken, 4.5 Oz. Can, Pack of four: $7.93. It’s a great price for an easy and healthy family dinner.

This morning, volunteers packed more than 70 packbacks; your donations were a tremendous help. Everyone got what they were supposed to get and more. Thank you.
