Sarah asked me to continue the Side Dishes program today. This is a hard time for food pantries. Donations are down, food banks struggle for food, and government support dwindles as states and towns run out of money and COVID-19 release programs cease.
I’m glad we connected with the foot pantry. I’m not a mystic, but it was meant for the Army of Good, me, and the Cambridge Food Pantry to get together. We got together just at the right time for both of us.
I love working for this cause; it gives me hope, meaning, and purpose. For me, getting older is not about less but more.
Once again, Sarah hopes to receive some assistance with two specific items: Velveeta Shells & Cheese, a pack of three for $9.98, and Ben’s Jasmine Rice, a pack of six for $9.98.
Above, Velveeta is the most popular item at the food pantry in Cambridge.
Ben’s Original Ready Rice Jasmine Rice, Easy Dinner Side, 8.5 Oz Pouch (Pack of 6), $9.98.
Velveeta Shells & Cheese Sauce, three ct Pack, 12 oz Boxes, $7.47.
Thanks again for the massive Amazon truckload of food to the Army of Good yesterday. Your donations are making a real difference. I just came back from the pantry and have some pictures. Sarah took a deep breath; the pantry was entering the quiet zone, the holiday season, and I told her we would be there to help as we could. Everyone at the pantry is telling me that we are angels.
Today, I brought a truckload of paper, towels, and toilet paper. Sarah was delighted to see it, just in the nick of time, she said.
Reminder: The Cambridge Pantry Amazon Food Wish List is available day and night, seven days a week. You can also access the food pantry by clicking on the green Cambridge food pantry button at the button of every blog post.
You can browse the wish list, as many of you do. Everything on the list is very much wanted and hard to keep or find. Whatever you buy takes some of the heat off of Sarah and her very devoted volunteers.
I stop by to read ever so often. I think and I know you don’t care what I think … but you should rename your blog “The Pantry”
Steve, thanks for stopping by. It’s a good idea. I love the name, but I think I’ll keep mine if it’s OK with you. I am curious though, if you really know that I don’t care what you think -which I have to admit is true. – I’d love to know why you still tell me what you think. Don’t you have something more productive and rewarding to do? Just curious.
I do a lot of productive things, more than you could imagine. I just don’t blog about them. I came here when I am bored and to see if there were any farm photos. I made the comment knowing you didn’t care because over a lot of years I have have seen you write to others in your blog posts that you don’t care what others think. We have something in common then, we don’t care. I made the comment and name suggestion to get a response from you and it was just as I expected. I am just surprised that you approved my comment. LOL
I’m surprised you wrote in the first place, Steve. Your reasoning makes no sense to me, especially if you’re bored here. You are welcome here any time if you can stand it. Good luck at finding someone nasty enough to keep you entertained, sorry I wasn’t bad enuf for you. The food pantry seems quite exciting to me. There are tons of farms on the Internet, don’t give up.I hope my blog is not one of the “productive”things that keep you busy. P.s. you sound interesting and intelligent, I hope you post a real message on the blog one day.
