Sarah’s Cambridge Pantry Plea, Monday, June 11: Friendly Diapers ($8.98), Roast Ground Coffee ($17.55). See What You Sent Last Week

by Jon Katz

Our decision to support the Cambridge Pantry is crucial for the Army Of Good. It directly impacts the lives of hundreds of children and their families, ensuring they can eat nourishingly and healthily. This initiative sheds light on the alarming hunger problem in America, the wealthiest country in the world.

It also provides an opportunity for people across the nation to make a difference and experience the joy of giving in a time of adversity and harshness. That is something that unites, not divides. All kinds of people with all sorts of opinions are contributing. Bless them all.

Our statement is not just a statement; it’s a testament to the American tradition of compassion and empathy for the poor and people in need. Your support for this idea has been instrumental in its success, exceeding all expectations. America is all about this, and we are grateful to be a part of it.

For me, doing good is not just a selfless act; it’s a selfish one. Knowing that I’ve positively impacted someone’s life is a source of immense personal satisfaction.

I love the idea that just a few dollars  —$8.98—can provide health and comfort 20 times to a baby, and $17.55 can give coffee to struggling parents and older people for weeks every morning. This is one of those items that disappears immediately. The pantry is out of it. Down below, a partial parade of the things that came to them from you.

Today, I received this new request from the Cambridge Pantry Director, Sarah Harrington.  Coffee is a necessary way for many people to start the day. And diapers are not an optional thing. Mothers and fathers need them.

Sarah’s first request is for Pura Size 5 Eco-Friendly Diapers, Hypoallergenic, Soft Organic Cotton, Sustainable Comfort, 12 Hours Leak Protection, Allergy UK, one pack of 20 diapers,$8.98.

The second is one of the most popular items on the Mansion shelves. The pantry is out of it.

It is Seattle’s Best Coffee Post Alley Blend Dark Roast Ground Coffee, 12 Oz Pags (Pack of 3), $17.55.

Both of these items and others you might choose to purchase can be found here.

 

Last week, the Army of Good saved the day on a number of essential items: Dish Detergent, above…

Beef Ravioli, which the Pantry ran out of quickly.

Prego Parmesan and Romano cheese and tomato sauce. People were pleased to see them back on the shelves. Thanks once more, Army of Good.
