Surprise! “Italian Night” At The Pantry, $4 And Less: Parmesan Cheese, $2.95, Prego Sauce, $3.99, Elbow Macaroni, $1.58.

by Jon Katz

Tonight, something different, simple, inexpensive, and very much in demand. These are among the most wanted items at the Cambridge Food Pantry; Sarah says they go out as quickly as they come in. Nothing is static or still about the pantry; the demand has increased, and items that last a few days are rare.

We are helping to meet this demand and allow the pantry to put up some modest stock that will last at least a week. They can only take a little more of these items; they don’t have room.

Even a small contribution can make a significant difference. Each item on the list below is under $4. For just $7, we can provide a substantial morale boost to the patrons and their families without making a significant dent in our bank accounts. I commit to sending at least one of these three things today.

Your help is invaluable, and we are deeply grateful for what you have done. Your support means the world to us. Good luck with ‘Italian Night.’ It’s heartwarming to see the community come together all over the country. It brings a much-needed smile to our faces.

Here are links to all three things Sarah requests as soon as possible.

As far as I can tell, Sarah doesn’t sleep. She’s up all night scouring Amazon for the best prices, and she is finding them.

 

Elbow Macaroni, 16 Oz, $1.58.

Prego Pasta Sauce, 45 Oz Jar, $3.99

Grated Parmesan and Romano Cheese Shaker, 8 Oz., $2.95

I hope to get photos today of the boxes of diapers headed for the pantry after “Diaper Day.”
