Hi Megan and Risa,
We'd like to help but we are senior citizens and we are trying to limit our trips to the grocery store. We don't have anything in the pantry that we can share. If we drop off cash -- or a check -- in the collection box on Maple Street,
will someone be able to shop?
Please let us know. And thank you for doing this.

The Cambridge Mutual Aid Network is starting a new initiative to support our neighbors in Chelsea, where the majority of residents are essential workers and many have been hit hardest by Covid-related challenges.
The Need
Every Tuesday and Thursday, the Chelsea Collaborative runs a pop-up food and supply pantry that feeds 500-700 people per day. Recently, they have needed to turn away families without food, so donations are deeply needed and would be greatly
appreciated.
All donations are appreciated, but please prioritize these items requested by the Chelsea community.
The current wish list includes: rice, lentils, beans (such as dried or canned red, black, pinto, garbanzo, split peas), fruits, vegetables, maseca flour, crackers (such as saltines or ritz crackers), cereal (such as Cheerios and other popular kinds), oil
(such as canola oil, Crisco, and other neutral oils), soup, pasta, pasta sauce, sausage, milk, eggs, bread, chicken, tuna, protein bars, formula, baby food, and diapers.
Our Ask
If you are able to donate items like those listed above,?please drop off your goods at our neighbor
Risa's house at 20 Maple Ave. between the hours of 7 and 10am.?There will be a collection box and a cooler located on the front porch. At this point, we are also looking for a neighbor or two who is able to drive the
goods over to the Chelsea Collaborative at 9am on Tuesday mornings, which is located at?318 Broadway St. in Chelsea MA.
Huge thank you to Risa who is coordinating this effort for our pod! Her contact info is CC'd in this email and you can reach out to her with questions or offers to drive!
