In a time of angst and division, I have learned a magical and reliable way to stay grounded, optimistic, and at peace: that, as you may have guessed, is to do something good for someone else every day.
Note: we have gotten a bunch of size one diapers enough for the family who asked to have them for several months.
We’re going to leave it on the Wish List until morning and additional contributions will be welcome, but we have enough for now. A new new item will be up in the morning.
Thank you once again.
I feel good and meaningful every day in this way; this blocks out the negativity and anger around me. I do this now thanks to the Cambridge Food Pantry, which permits me and others to do something good for others as often as we want and can afford.
The pantry asks very little of us, in a way; everything they request is inexpensive and modest.
The politicians ask us for a lot more. This is where my extra money goes, and it is well spent.
It keeps me grounded and at ease. Try it, as so many of you are. And thanks for making my dreams come true as well—I get to leave the world in a better position than I found it and help other people in need. We are all in this together.
(You can access the Cambridge Pantry Amazon Wish List anytime, day or night. It is constantly being updated.)
As I wrote last night, the response to the requests for scalloped potatoes and evaporating baby milk came so quickly and in such numbers that Sarah removed them from the Wish List so that other items of need might be donated. You can access the constantly updated Wish List right here or by clicking on the green button at the bottom of every blog post on my blog. Thanks.
Sarah is not one for standing still; she quickly requests help for something else the pantry needs – Size 1 diapers. Most people who come to the pantry are single mothers desperate to feed their children. One thing many mothers need is diapers. We got some last week but didn’t ask for Size 1. Here is our chance.
This is the only item requested for the weekend; tomorrow, we’ll try to send peanut butter, smooth and crunchy. Stay tuned. Thanks for your help with the diaper; several mothers have asked if we could send some.
