I knew something had to be wrong, and it was. The Army of Good doesn’t ignore appeals like that. I was right; the cereal boxes were pouring in. The problem was not distraction or lack of interest; it was faulty software on Amazon. We have enough cereal boxes, so I expect the incoming boxes will last a while for the backpack children, who will soon be having them with breakfast.

At first, I worried it was the political news coming out of Washington. People were distracted and confused, and some seemed frightened in their messages. However, there are no politics regarding the food pantry; it must be something else.

I was up much of the night trying to figure it out. It’s not like we shut down and ignore a plea like that. I pushed myself but couldn’t get to checkout. Something was off with Amazon’s typically efficient ordering software. Sarah deleted the cereal requests and restored them. I was able to order  15 Life Breakfast Cereal Boxes without trouble.

We are back in business, and I can sleep well tonight.

Again, here are the three cereals Sarah requested for the backpack program.   Sarah says we have enough on the way, but feel free to send more – they can always use them. There are 150 children in the backpack program, which keeps them from going hungry on weekends.

Now that the Amazon software is working, you can choose any one (or more) of these cereals for the Backpack kids.

Life Breakfast Cereal from Quaker Oats, Cereal Original, 13.)oz Boxes (3 Pac), $14.97.

Honey Bunches of Oats Honey Roasted, Heart Healthy, Low Fat, made with Whole Grain Cereal, 12 Ounce Pack of 3, $11.31.

Honey Nut Cheerios Heart Healthy Breakfast Cereal, Gluten-Free, with Whole Grain Oats, 10.8 Oz, $1.99.

Sarah has chosen two items for tomorrow, Friday; I’ll post them in the morning: Bandaids, a new item suggested by  Pet Food Supporter Judigh Feely of Wisconsin suggested the bandaids, and we are also seeking woman’s shelf support, asking for help getting Size 4 Diapers. I’ll see you in the morning, thanks again.
