A Ton Of Good:I Want To Say Thank You For The Very Healthy Thanksgving Gift Of Veg-All To The Pantry Families Against Overwhelming Odds

by Jon Katz

Dear Army of Good, I’m writing to thank you for your almost unbelievable effort to deliver the very healthy canned food Veg-All to the Food Pantry on Amazon’s business night of the year—Black Friday Thanksgiving—after delays, sell-outs, and software glitches. I cautioned Pantry Director Sarah that people might not be able to overcome the chaos and deliver the Veg-Alls, an incredibly effective way to get different vegetables to the pantry families in need.

I’m not sure the wish list is checked on nights like that, but I needn’t have wondered. You are a group with a heart; you never miss a chance to do good.

We got a shelf full of Veg-Alls and another shelf full of a similar Amazon offering at one-time affordable prices. This is food that the pantry and the families can’t afford to buy except for that one night.

The photo is of the shelf with the canned vegetables; some are still trickling in. I want you to know how much this was appreciated. I suspect this item will be gone by the weekend, but I wanted you to know how much it meant to the Cambridge Pantry volunteers, another very dedicated group. We are surprised you did it; your dedication is humbling and a matter of great affection. You are a world of love, and a light to the world.
