It feels simple, inexpensive, and timely today—an expensive lead-in into the weekend.

Sarah was about to request chicken fried rice, but the Army of Goods surprised us with 24 boxes, a true testament to the power of collective generosity. The green Pantry Amazon Wish List button, a symbol of our community’s support, is now familiar at the bottom of every blog post.

(The above items were sent this week from the Army of Good. Good feels better than anger.)

The Wish List is constantly updated; you can access it at any time. Everything on it is something people have requested or that the pantry has run out of or never been able to obtain.

Only a few of the two items Sarah requested are currently available. They are inexpensive for us and in high demand, and we need your help to ensure everyone gets what they have asked for.

Red Beans & Rice, 8 )z., $1.78.

Shells & Cheese, Shell Pasta & Cheese Shell Pasta and Cheese Sauce Meal, 5.7 Oz (Pack of 8),  $7.47.

Once again, less than $10 can do a lot of good. Once again, thanks. You are doing a great deal of good.
