This is excellent news for the Army of Good. The Cambridge Food Pantry has received 60 bottles of Lemonade and 22 bottles of Cranberry Juice; more are coming. We have enough Lemonade for now; thanks so much.
Today’s urgent request: Jasmine Rice.
Sarah has requested assistance obtaining Jasmine Rice and tea, which are currently out of stock. We aim to stock up on these and other popular food items to reduce the need for sudden scrambling and ensure the pantry is well-prepared.
Tracking the food needs is a jarring and never-ending job. So many things are taken quickly, and Sarah must keep changing what is urgent. It changes constantly. It’s a kind of never-ending chess. If we stay one thing too long, other essential foods will disappear.
So I will ask for one or two urgent donations a day and then add things they might need or that they might need from watching and listening. We can do what we can to help.
Today, I will focus on getting rice for the pantry and the juice and tea below.
Rice is a very popular and healthy dinner food at the pantry. It is also inexpensive to buy and easy to cook.
First: Ben’s Original Ready Rice Jasmine Rice, Easy Dinner Side, 8.5 Oz Pouch, (Pack of 6) $9.48.
(I love the pantry pans in black and white; it’s an iconic image.)Here is the link for tea. Sarah says she can only keep it on the shelves briefly. Grape juice is another inexpensive summer favorite for kids. So is V8 Splash.
Thanks for the Lemonade support; the bottles are still coming.
Here are the other foods the pantry has run out of or is running out of. Please help if you can.
One: Happy Belly Grace Juice, Bottle 64 fl.Oz (Pack of 1), $4.34.
V8 Splash Tropical Blend Flavored Juice Beverage, 64 Floz Bottle, $2.98.
