Yesterday, the Cambridge Food Pantry found itself in a critical situation. We ran out of laundry soap and dish liquid, just as the demand was at its peak with 63 families in need. The end of the month always brings a surge in visitors.

I have to say I have yet to encounter a time or day when the Cambridge Food Pantry and  Sarah are not busy.

We can help her get these two inexpensive items back on the shelves, which is the role we are increasingly taking and are best at small acts of great kindness.

Thanks for what you do. It would be great, says Sarah, to get those two items back on the shelves.

Sarah is requesting Clorox Franganzia Liquid Laundry Detergent in Ocean Scent, 40 Oz high-efficiency Laundry Detergent Compatible, $5.99.

The second is Gain Ultra Dishwashing Liquid Dish Soap, Original Scent, 38 fl. oz, $3.44.

Both items and other food needs have been added to the Cambridge Food Pantry Amazon Wish List.

(I’ll be offline from June 2 to June 6 next week. Please feel free if you wish to visit the Cambridge Pantry Wish List while I’m gone and keep the momentum going. You have made an enormous difference. Please keep it going if you can.
