- “We are stocked on fruit!” texted Sarah at 5 a.m. (we talk at that time every morning). She was relieved and very pleased. She said the Army of Good “went crazy” on canned juices, and she even has enough canned juice to stock for another week.
We can’t thank you enough. The pantry bank deliveries are getting unpredictable; we hope it’s temporary.
I see Sarah focusing on breakfast foods and filling soup meals that can last a long time (there aren’t large refrigerators in this community) and be served quickly. Many of the people who use the pantry have two or even three jobs trying to stay even. So far, it’s a losing battle, perhaps getting worse.
You have been a great blessing to the pantry; I am told this daily. It’s the truth.
Soups In stock, thanks to you.

(Sarah has worked on the main food room, so it will look more like a supermarket and less like a dingy cellar. There will be brighter lights and painted walls.)
The Amazon Cambridge Pantry Urgent Wish List is accessible anytime, day or night. Click on the links here or use the green button at the bottom of every blog post. Every item on the wish list is urgent and updated several times daily. Some people are adopting favored items and sending them when they can. Thanks for the messages; the pantry volunteers greatly appreciate them. Thanks for sending the canned fruit; it is a true lifesaver.
The pantry is almost always behind, and the number of people coming is growing. It’s a merry-go-round; sometimes, the shelves are full, but not for long. This is the juice shelf.
