This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, we are giving 10% of our food and drink sales to The Immigrant Pantry.
The Pantry is a group of Memphians who deliver groceries to immigrant families unable to leave their houses. Teachers, mothers, social workers, people with day jobs, packing boxes in their garages and driving them across the city. They started last July at about eight deliveries a week. They are now running 40 to 60 a week, and they have made more than 2,200 since they began. The demand went up the moment the Task Force hit the streets.
Every delivery is a box of staples, rice and beans and masa and cooking oil, plus household and hygiene essentials, and then a volunteer goes out and shops for fifty dollars of fresh meat, dairy, and produce for that specific family. About two hundred dollars of food and supplies, carried to a door by somebody who took the afternoon off to do it.
Jessica Miller, who cofounded the Pantry, put it this way. “This pantry was built on a simple belief: our immigrant neighbors deserve to know that even in moments of fear and uncertainty, this community will show up for them.”
Come eat with us this weekend. 1761 Madison, 4 to 10. If you would rather give directly, Venmo thecollectivegood or CashApp $collectivegood.
