Second Miraculous And Amazing Delivery Today: Thanksgiving Came Early: See What You Did For Hundreds Of Kids, And For People Who Have Nowhere Else To Go.

by Jon Katz

Thanks to the incredible support of our community, the second load in as many days arrived today, ensuring that every pantry member will receive a frozen turkey with gravy, cranberry sauce, and turkey stuffing for Thanksgiving.

We sent 600 items (more than that are still coming) worth more than $2,000. We raised the money in less than three days; many thanks and appreciation for the Army Of Good. I never really doubted it when gulp when I heard about the number of items. I needn’t have worried. Sarah said I had a month to raise the money; I said a week sounded better. I know what this group can do when I like the cause.

Our unofficial motto was “no kid should be afraid of missing Thanksgiving Dinner.” At the Cambridge Pantry, no kid will, thanks to you.

The last two days racked up the most significant order delivery in the Mansion’s history, and another truckload is coming tomorrow, so we are so appreciative and proud. No one can take this away from us. I thank you again and again. Doing good does feel better than almost anything else I do.

I’ve asked Sarah to start brainstorming about our Christmas plans. This is another challenging time for our Pantry members, and I’m eager to see what we can do together to make it a little brighter.


A load from Amazon filled the pantry delivery bin; Scott is unpacking it, sorting it out, and preparing it for storage; we also got a lot of other items the pension needs, and they are going up on the shelves tomorrow.

Sarah bringing some classy style to the pantry. I want to buy one. Scott will be up late tonight. Another load is coming tomorrow. More later. I slept very well last night.
