CSB Matches EGGStraordinary Times Donations

Thanks to a very generous offer from Cambridge Savings Bank, all donations made to our EGGStraordinary Fundraiser during #GivingTuesdayNow (now through May 5th) will be matched (up to a $5000 total). That means your donation will buy more eggs, more milk, more cleaning supplies, or more of whatever we need to continue our mission to provide healthy food to those in need. Thank you, Cambridge Savings Bank!

Although we are fortunate to continue receiving food from the Greater Boston Food Bank, donations of food from supermarkets and farms, and money from organizations and individuals, issues with the supply chain mean that food staples, such as eggs, dairy, and pastas, are not consistently available from our normal sources each week.

Furthermore, as people lose their jobs and other sources of income, more and more people are facing food insecurity. We have already seen a marked increase in the number of new guests visiting our drive-thru pantry, and are getting more requests for mobile pantry services.

While we have to date been able to feed everyone who comes, we have to purchase some items in order to provide healthy food and prepared meals for all who come. Your donations allow us to purchase the needed items that we cannot get for free. Your money helps us purchase cleaning supplies, masks & gloves, grocery bags, and other items need to pack and deliver food in a safe manner. You make a difference! Thank you.
