Hello Everyone!

Thank you so much to everyone for participating in our food drive to support our Chelsea neighbors. We are hoping to continue these efforts throughout the coming weeks! There have been some updates to the needs as well as the drop-off information.

The Need

If you are in a position to donate money, this is truly the best and fastest way to assure trusted community organizations can distribute cash to individuals as well as efficiently bulk-purchase volumes of food, personal care, and household products. See the links to organizations in the Financial Contributions section of this page.
There is an urgent need for diapers and formula.
If you are going to donate food items, please prioritize these items requested by the Chelsea community: 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.
There are also opportunities for volunteering including driving items from Cambridge to Chelsea, helping assemble boxed deliveries, and remote multilingual translation.

To Donate

Risa will be collecting donations of food items and diapers/formula before she drives it over to Chelsea on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please only drop off items between 7-10am on Tues or Thurs!
Risa's address is 20 Maple Street and you can leave items on the porch.

Thank you everyone! Risa's email is cc'd as is my personal email address, if you need to get ahold of us for any reason.

All the best,

Megan

Hi Meghan and Risa,

Thank you for organizing this! I have stuff I can donate, but I didn’t see any donation box when I went this morning and I didn’t want to leave everything just in case I got something wrong. I can come by later this morning, but can someone confirm that I can drop off today?

Thanks!

Hi Folks,

Does anyone have a cart with wheels I can borrow to deliver groceries this week? It'll be for a couple of hours a day, drivers needed every day so I can sign up around your schedule.

Thanks,

Thanks for sharing and doing the ground work on organizing for our pod, Risa and Erica. We will plan to start to contributing. If there are particular things that are not showing up (such as diapers, formula, and wipes), please don't hesitate to follow-up if it would be helpful to channel donations in any particular direction.

Pat and David, we could help with some shopping if you are looking to put money toward resources for this particular community. Will send you an email now to check-in.

Take good care everyone,

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.

Be safe, be well,

Pat and David

Hello Dana Hillers!

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!

Thanks everyone!

Megan
