Ruby's Pantry Bloomington, MN

04/02/2026

Attention pre-registered guests for Bloomington in April: Given reports that no one from the main Ruby's Pantry office has been answering the phone or emails for several days now, our site team is recommending that guests who pre-registered for our April pantry work with their card issuer for a chargeback/refund. We're very sorry it has come to this. The main website for Ruby's Pantry has removed their contact information, and our site team has no access to any information about pre-registered guests. We encourage you to contact your bank about this issue as soon as you are able.

04/01/2026

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that Ruby's Pantry's main office has decided to cease all operations immediately. We wish we could say that this is an April Fool's joke, but it's not. This project built on loving our neighbors has been such a blessing for all of us involved in our Bloomington site; we will sincerely miss serving our guests each month and being in fellowship with our dedicated volunteers.

If you're so inclined, please keep the Ruby's Pantry central office team in your prayers. This can't have been an easy decision to make, and we know that they did not make this choice lightly.

Update: CANCELLED.
Mark your calendar for our next pantry distribution on Monday, April 13! If you reserve your share online before April 1, you can lock in your donation before the increase to $30 goes into effect: https://www.rubyspantry.org/location/52

Update: CANCELLED.
If you're planning to attend our April pantry distribution and like to register in advance, there's now an extra benefit for you to make your donation online! Go to https://www.rubyspantry.org/location/52 by March 31, and you can complete your donation before the per-share contribution goes up by $5 for all sites starting in April.

Fuel and transportation costs are rising, and this has had an enormous impact on Ruby's Pantry's operations and budget. For those planning to pay on-site, please plan for a donation of $30 per share via cash or Venmo. We hope that you still find the shares to be a very good value, and we look forward to serving you on April 13!
