Another simple but critical AOG Pantry experiment that is right up our alley: Four urgently needed and intensely popular food items – salad dressings – have proven impossible to store or stockpile. Sarah found four salad dressings that the pantry customers love but can’t find now.
All four are under $3 and are great Friday and weekend projects for the Army of Good. Sarah has ingeniously found a way for people to make a significant impact at a very low cost. Less than $8 can change the dynamics and get people the dressing they love. This is a powerful example of our approach—small acts of great kindness.
(Note local pantry supporters: Sarah Harrington will be sitting in a Cambridge Pantry Booth for the first time at this Sunday’s Cambridge Farmer’s Market from 10 to one p.m. I’ll be dropping by to say hello and take some photos. Please come and support Sarah and the pantry if you can)
Here are the four salad dressings the pantry customers love the most but need help to get. All cost less than $3.
One Kraft Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing (16 fl oz Bottle) by Kraft, $2.53.
Kraft Dressing, Thousand Island, 8 Oz, $2.24.
Kraft Classic Ranch Dressing, $2.33.
Kraft Tuscan House Italian Salad Dressing (16 fl. Oz Bottle) $2.98.
Imagine the joy on the faces of the pantry customers when they see these salad dressings on the shelves and available —many thanks to those of you who can help make this moment possible.
Thanks for the pads and Tampax you sent to the pantry on Women’s Day Earlier this week. They are still arriving. Many people have asked if there is still a need, and the answer, said Sarah, is a resounding yes. These are among the most challenging things for the pantry to get, and their woman’s shelf was empty all week. This is something that is in dire need.
The pantry has enough of these supplies for this week. I’m still pushing this campaign, hoping they can stockpile liners and tampons for more than one or two weeks.
If you can contribute, please do. It’s a great cause, and we can help.
They need Anti-Bunch Xtra Protection Daily Liners Long Unscented, 108 Count, $7.97.
The above issues are posted on the constantly upgraded Cambridge Food Pantry. Please help if you can, and thanks yet again.
