Sarah declared today “Spaghetti Day,” a humble request for two inexpensive items that the pantry users need and the pantry can’t get.

Your contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant difference. Please help if you can.  It’s also the Fall launch of the Backpack program, an N.Y. state-supported program to get extra food (discreetly) into the hands of the 161 children whose families have asked for additional and supplemental food for their children. The program runs once a week and into next Spring.

Maria has volunteered to help put the energy packages together.

I’ve got photos of the backpack volunteers coming up next.

Sarah’s items are right below:

Hunt’s Meat Pasta Sauce, 24 oz, (Pack of 1), $1.34.

Chef Boyardi Spaghetti and Meatballs, 14.5 Oz Cans, Pack of 4) $3.99.

In addition, here are my picks for today: Three other items that are needed but not available to the pantry:

Tide Liquid Laundry Detergent, $5.50.

Tampax Pearl Tampons Multipack, Regular/Super Absorbency, 34 Count, $7.97.

Honey Mustard Dressing, 16 fl oz, $1.99.

Reminder: You can browse the Cambridge Pantry Amazon Food Wish List anytime, day and night, and are welcome to make your own choices. Sarah updates the Wish List constantly throughout the day and night, and everything on the list is needed.

You can access the wish list anytime, seven days a week, by clicking on the green “Cambridge Pantry” button below at the bottom of every blog post.
