Sarah said today was an all-time record-breaking day at the food pantry in Cambridge, N.Y., with 85 families and more than 210 people served. When the pantry closed for service today, at least ten people were still inside looking for their food.
You people are setting records for donations and support. Bless you. Here are some photos that show it. All of it comes from the Army of Good.
Sarah Harrington says the Army of Good has truly made a significant impact on the Cambridge Food Pantry. Your donations of Tide, diapers, juice, salads, Efferdent, soup, Velveteen, rice, Turkey gravy, handshakes, potatoes, disinfectants, tampons, and pads have been invaluable. We are deeply grateful for your support.
P.S. As you know, there is no relaxing in a food pantry these days.
The Cambridge Pantry Amazon Food Wish List is open for donations seven days a week, round the clock (which is how Sarah Harrington sleeps). Your continued support is vital to our operations. Feel free to browse or donate whenever you want to do more good. You can access the list using the links or the green button at the bottom of every blog post, as shown below.
Your generosity has been pouring into the food pantry since Monday. You are not only helping to make the Thanksgiving Project happen, but you are also helping the families that come in for food support twice a week. You are brightening the lives of women and children.
The Amazon vans arrived just after lunch; the pantry volunteers unpacked the food…
Then, the volunteers lay it out on the tables to be recorded and sorted. Your help is invaluable and is breaking the Pantry’s records for support. We cannot thank you enough for your dedication and generosity. Thank you, thank you.
When it first arrives, most of the food is set on rollers before it’s opened, stacked on the shelves, or put in storage if it’s cold. The Pantry volunteers are almost there, unloading, unpacking, sorting, and shelving. They are amazing.
We want to express our heartfelt appreciation for your excellent support. Your efforts have been instrumental in helping us serve the community. Due to the large crowds, the pantry is now restricting food distribution to people living in the Cambridge School District.
Can you find another way for food donations other than Amazon? Many of us are boycotting Amazon to protest Bezos.
Thanks, Tiyana. I’m afraid I can’t adjust to each political turn; these people would never get food. Amazon is the easiest and least expensive; if you don’t choose to use it, I’d send donations or food purchased elsewhere directly to the pantry. Here is the date for where to send it. Thanks for caring.My first responsibility is to get them the best available food most quickly and least expensively. Cutting off Amazon now would harm these families a lot more than Jeff Bezos; we are hoping to work with Walmart also but that will take a while..thanks for helping the pantry
