Sarah’s Mixed Bag Of Needs For The Cambridge Food Pantry: Two Kinds Of Coffee, Tough Can Opener

by Jon Katz

Sarah’s pantry item request today covers both ends of the spectrum: the practical need for a can opener that the rest of us take for granted and two kinds of coffee to get the morning going in a good and desperately wanted way.

I was amazed to learn how important it was to these families to get hold of a can opener.  I was also impressed by the popularity of a blog supporter who sent two big boxes of cat and dog food. We hope for more.

Sarah’s idea of a valuable food pantry often goes beyond food—it includes women’s hygiene, dental work, kitchen utensils, can openers, and now, thanks to Judith in Minnesota, pet food.

Being poor and hungry is not just about food, but for the necessities of life as well – like can openers and coffee:

Here are the three requests for today:

New England Coffee Breakfast Blend Medium Roast Ground Coffee, 12 Oz Bag (Pack of 3), $16.29.

Seattle’s Best Coffee Post, alley  Blend Dark Roast Ground Coffee 12 Ounce Bags (Pack of 3), $17.94,

New Kitchen Shelf:

Safring Can Opener Manual, Handheld Strong Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Can Opener, Comfortable Handle, Sharp Blade Smooth Edge, Can Openers with Multifunctional Bottle Opener,$ 7.49

 

Please message the cold, tired, and hard-working volunteers at the Cambridge Food Pantry (Terry comes to mind) and thank them for their support. They appreciate you, and you understand them; that’s how it should work. They are grateful for your messages.

Reminder: You can access the Cambridge Amazon Food Pantry Wish List anytime by linking here or clicking the green pantry button at the bottom of every blog post.

Thanks so much for your continuing support; you have helped to brighten the lives of adults and children who need help getting food in America.
