Sarah needs a lot of food from the pantry. I’m listing five but choosing two for the day’s needs. We can go over some of the others and through the weekend.
(Above, Sarah is a designer at heart and by training. She is bringing an exciting new sensibility to the Cambridge Pantry, which has mostly stayed the same for years. It’s changing now. She was excited to show me this new display on the produce wall. She put it all together. The distribution room is brighter, more colorful, and very inviting.)
I was touched by the slogan for the pantry she put up: “Our mission is to improve the lives of those in need by offering healthy food in an environment that honors the whole person.” I appreciate the idea of honoring the whole person. Sarah’s got it right; she is impressive.
Tide has been one of the most consistently requested foods since we started working with the Pantry. There is never enough.
The pantry urgently needs lemonade for the warm-weather children; Amazon’s Lemonade Concentrate costs only $2.80 per bottle. I would appreciate any help you can offer on these items.
The last backpack of children’s bags went out today.
Joan finishes up the last backpacks of the season.
Her smile is everything that makes me want to do whatever I can to help. Her face lets me know that she is an Angel among us. Every time you post a picture of her, I need to answer that smile and those beautiful eyes. Thank you and her for including us in these endeavors.
Thanks, Barbara, she is an angel, I believe, one of those people born to do good…
Sarah appreciated this note, Barbara.
Your link is wrong—there is no such thing as Velveeta with sausage. Disgusting thought!
Sally, the word sausage was a typo, quickly corrected, and quite obvious. I write a lot, and it happens. On social media, I see that civility and manners are rapidly vanishing, which is a disgusting reality to me. I hope your revulsion hasn’t[t kept you from contributing to this wonderful cause. Try some Pepto Bismol. I suspect you will be okay.
