I’m told the Cambridge Food Pantry differs from most food pantries. People are not advised to take or leave the food; they are asked what they want and miss, and Sarah and her staff think ahead: what’s best for summer? For Fall? For holidays?

And especially for all kinds of cold weather. Today’s food request is really all about winter, gathering foods in cans that the best pantry banks can’t give them.

Sarah is leading a crucial cold-weather campaign to provide warm and healthy food for the pantry’s members, primarily as the holidays draw near. Your support is needed now more than ever.

Please help Sarah and the volunteers prepare warm, easy-to-cook, and healthy dinners for their patrons if you can. The more we help, the fewer choices they have to make.

Today, she asks for support for the “C’s,” canned bees and smoked canned ham:

Del Monte Fresh Cut, Canned Beets Sliced, Canned Vegetables, 12 Pack, 8.25 oz can., $12.72.

Hormel Canned Ham, Smoked, 5 Ounce (Pack of 12), $23.87.

Bargain food of the day:

Happy  Belly Creamy Caesar Dressing, 16 fl 0x, Pack of 1, $1.99.

We deeply appreciate your potential support. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a significant difference to the patrons of the Cambridge Food Pantry. Thank you.
