I love Sarah’s Monday request for food support for the nearly 200 children who depend on the Cambridge Food Pantry for their food. Lemonade is a delicacy they rarely get from a food pantry, but we are offering it to them this week with your help. And there couldn’t be a cheaper way to brighten the lives and diets of these children.

Sarah has requested Amazon Fresh Lemonade from Concentrate, 64 Fl. Oz, each one for $2.79.  It’s one of the least expensive foods yet.

The need for refreshing drinks becomes more pressing as the temperature rises here and everywhere else. While there are other essential foods to order, the pantry doesn’t want to forget the importance of a balanced diet for these children—and also a drink that will be fun.

The kids light up at the thought of getting some lemonade. I hope we can help. I’m sending ten bottles.

Amazon also offers other flavored drinks as a special offer: Cranberry for $5.48, Grape for $4.65, and Grapefruit for $3.33. The apple flavor is sold out.

In addition, Amazon Fresh offers Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice, 64 Fl Oz, for $3.33 for a limited time.

If we send these drinks now and in the next few days, we can stuff them into their backpack food and snack packs, which will be sent to them on Friday or any day next week.

You can buy these and other foods at the Cambridge Food Pantry Wish List here.

Children’s backpacks are getting filled by pantry volunteers. Maria and I also volunteer to pack the bags. It feels wonderful to do this work. Is there a better cause than feeding children in need?
