About MY PANTRY
My Pantry was founded in July 2025 by Marina Miller and Yvonne Chen to address hunger in the Cambridge community and provide support for those in need.
Mission
Alleviate food insecurity among patients in our care. Promote health and wellness through access to essential nutrition. Integrate pantry services into existing clinical workflows for accessibility and patient confidentiality. Lay the foundation for future nonprofit development and broader community outreach.
Vision
Establish a nonprofit organization to expand food access services in the community. Offer fresh produce, hygiene products, and household essentials.
Serve non-patient community members, especially those at higher risk of food insecurity.
Collaborate with local organizations to provide nutrition education, cooking tips, and resource referrals.
Statement
MY Pantry is a critical step toward addressing food insecurity within our patient population. Through thoughtful implementation, community collaboration, and continued support, we aim to provide immediate relief while building the infrastructure for long-term wellness and community outreach.
This initiative will not only meet a fundamental need but also foster dignity, trust, and a deeper connection between the clinic and the patients we serve.
