Pantry reopens today at 8am cst

2025/7/14 Edited to

The Emotional Support Virtual Food Pantry is a vital resource committed to supporting families across the United States facing food insecurity. Operating Tuesday through Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM CST, the pantry emphasizes accessibility and ease, with requests processed promptly within these hours. Any submissions made outside this timeframe or over weekends are not considered until the next operational day, and applicants are encouraged to reapply every 48 hours if an order has not yet been processed. This week marks a special Pasta Week initiative, where families can select from pasta meal options including ground turkey, ground beef, or shrimp variations, ensuring nutritious and comforting meals for children and adults alike. Besides meals, the pantry provides essential items such as free diapers, wipes, newborn supplies, and home essentials, helping ease the burden on families struggling to meet basic needs. The pantry operates entirely through self-funding via social media fundraising efforts and generous donations, without reliance on external grants. This grassroots approach promotes direct community involvement and responsiveness to needs. Interested supporters can partner with the pantry for just $20 a month to help feed more food-insecure families nationwide. To streamline service delivery and meet families’ preferences, the pantry accepts delivery time requests upon ordering. The pantry’s presence on social media platforms like TikTok (@beyond_chandra) and Instagram (@beyond_chandra) keeps the community informed and engaged with real-time updates and donation opportunities. For families seeking assistance or individuals wishing to support, the pantry provides a toll-free hotline (888-354-8749) and email contact (chandra@emotionalsupportsl.org) to facilitate communication and help. Through these combined services, the Emotional Support Virtual Food Pantry effectively fills critical weekend meal gaps for children and offers a soft line of support to uplift families nationwide.

When He Ghosts, Text Him This

Most women don’t struggle because they don’t know what to say. They struggle because they’re still deciding if they should give him another chance. And that hesitation is exactly what keeps the cycle alive. When someone ghosts you, they already made a decision: 👉 inconsistency was acceptabl

A large collection of groceries in numerous plastic bags and a crate of onions are spread across a wooden floor, representing a significant haul from a food pantry visit.

An almost empty refrigerator is shown with only a small cake and a tub of butter on the shelves, illustrating the fridge's sparse contents before a grocery trip.

An open kitchen cabinet reveals mostly bare shelves, with only one bag of food visible, depicting the cabinet's state before stocking up on groceries.

🥫 Pantry Organization Tips That Make Cooking Easier

Your pantry is losing food before you even cook it

Bugs in rice. Ginger drying out. Onions rotting. Herbs dying in the fridge. Potatoes sprouting before you use them. ‎ ‏‏‎ Most people throw food away because they store it wrong. ‎ ‏‏‎ A bay leaf, a dry chili, a few cloves, a damp cloth, or even a slice of apple can make a big difference. ‎

The grand interior of Cinema Odeon, a former theater now a bookstore, features a beautiful domed ceiling, theater seating, and bookshelves. People browse books and use laptops, while a screen on the stage hints at its dual function as a cinema.

The historic stone facade of Cinema Teatro Odeon in Florence, with its three arched entrances and prominent signage. The overlay text highlights its 100-year history and the risk of closure it faced in 2023.

A close-up of the 'LIBRERIA' (bookstore) entrance of Cinema Odeon, showcasing books in the window display. A 'DUNE' movie poster is visible next to it, and a scooter is parked nearby, illustrating the creative preservation of this landmark.

This is a BUCKET LIST Bookstore! 📖🇮🇹

Engaged communities really know how to rally behind their beloved establishments. Cinema Odeon is no exception. The Italian theater, located in Florence, was at risk of closing down after 100 years of operation. Florentines could not stand for losing a beloved landmark, so they go creative in their
