Grace and peace to each of you,
First, we want to take a moment to sincerely thank each of you who make Ruby’s Pantry such a special ministry. To our wonderful volunteers who faithfully serve each month, and to the many guests who come through our Pop-Up Pantries, you are all an important part of the Ruby’s Pantry family. Because of your kindness, encouragement, and willingness to come together in community, thousands of families experience not only food on their tables but also care, fellowship, and hope.
For many years, Ruby’s Pantry has worked hard to keep the suggested donation as affordable as possible while continuing to provide a generous amount of food to the families we serve. We have always tried to be careful stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us so that this ministry can continue to reach as many people as possible.
Due to rising costs involved in transporting and distributing food across our many locations, the Ruby’s Pantry Board has prayerfully made the decision to temporarily increase the suggested guest donation from $25 to $30 per bundle beginning April 1, 2026.
This decision was not made lightly. Our desire is always to keep Ruby’s Pantry accessible while also ensuring that we can continue serving families and communities for years to come. Even with this adjustment, our goal remains the same — to provide a large amount of food at a value far greater than the suggested donation.
We understand that many families are facing financial challenges due to rising costs of living, and please know that Ruby’s Pantry remains committed to welcoming everyone. Our prayer is that this ministry continues to be a place where people experience compassion, encouragement, and the love of Christ in practical ways.
The Bible reminds us in Hebrews 6:10,
"God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them."
Thank you for being part of the Ruby’s Pantry mission. Your support, kindness, and willingness to serve make it possible for this ministry to continue blessing community’s month after month.
With heartfelt gratitude,
RoxAnn Sahr
Executive Director
