Today’s Cambridge Urgent Food Pantry Request: Velvetta Cheese ($7.47) And Ravioli ($4.48) : Some Shelve’s Got Emptied Over The Weekend

by Jon Katz

I saw some empty shells today when I went to the Cambridge Food Pantry to meet the truck coming in from the Food Bank in Albany. Everyone who comes to the pantry will have enough food to eat after the delivery, but two of the most popular items typically on hand were gone in the weekend crush.

They are Velveeta Shells and Cheese and Ravioli.

Sarah has asked if we can focus on restocking these two items today. You can also browse the Amazon Pantry Wish List. Your efforts are truly appreciated and make a difference.

Here are today’s requested support:

 

Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli, 15. Oz, 4 Pack, $4.48

Velveeta Shells & Cheese Original Shell Pasta @Cheese Sauce Meal, 3ct pack, 12.0z boxes., $7.47.

 

 

 I was drawn to the Urban Essentials Bulk Toothbrush Package with Covers, Individually Wrapped, and Colorful Tooth Brush Pack Extra Soft—hygienic Cap with Ergonomic Handle (100 Pack), $25.00.

Sarah didn’t put this on our list today, but I did. She rarely asks for help with expensive items, but I read the specs, which would promote tooth hygiene for these families for a long time. I’m buying one.

 

The new truck is a big hit. There is enough basic food for every family, but the things they want and miss are missing.

I don’t usually see this many empty shelves in the pantry.

The ever-hard-working volunteers showed up to unload the truck and store the food in cabinets, refrigerated rooms, and freezers. They are impressive.
