Just a REMINDER....

To All our volunteers, guests, and community friends/neighbors
The following letter is what we have received regarding the Ruby’s Pantry Food Ministry and this is all we know at the current time. Please, let’s avoid speculation, more information will be provided/shared when available.
At this time, we ask that you hold Ruby’s Pantry warehouse workers, drivers and office staff and their families in your prayers as they are now unemployed.
Blessings to you all,
Ruby’s Pantry Coppertop Steering Committee

Greetings,

Over the past several months, we have been thoughtfully realigning the work, structure, and focus of Ruby’s Pantry to ensure our mission remains at the center of everything we do. As part of this process, we have worked to better align community needs with our goal of operating in the most effective and seamless way possible.

As a result, we have decided to end the operations of Ruby’s Pantry effective immediately. We recognize that this is difficult news to receive and do not take this decision lightly.

God has blessed Ruby’s for over 20 years, and it has been an incredible journey. It all started from a vision to help others through a single blessing box. We are truly grateful for your contributions and dedication throughout your time with Ruby’s Pantry. Thank you for the important role you have played on this journey and for the impact you have made in service of our mission

With gratitude,
Ruby’s Pantry

Due to the massive snowfall, and the fact that many are still digging out....
We are shifting our February distribution to NEXT week, on the 26th.
The city has been doing a great job, but the amount of snow and the miles of roadway and alleyways not yet cleared... combined with the travel that some of our guests and volunteers do to get here, we would rather everyone be safe than to take risks.

We hope that everyone can suitably pivot to next week and we look forward to seeing you then.

p.s. - if you'd like to volunteer, drop a reply and we can get you a link...
