♥ What is a Pop-Up Pantry ♥
Ruby’s Pantry holds Pop-Up Pantry’s in a number of locations across Minnesota and Wisconsin every month. There are no income or resident limits/requirements and you can attend a Pop-Up Pantry at any city/state location. Ruby’s Pantry has been serving rural communities in Minnesota and Wisconsin for over 15 years, with donated overstocked food. It is a faith based non-profit organization that has become a household name for many over the last 15 years allowing families to stretch their grocery dollar. |
|
Ruby’s Pantry has grown to over 11,000 volunteers that serve over 133,000 families and distribute 1,166,000 pounds of food to 66 different Pop-Up Pantry locations each month. Ruby’s Pantry runs its operational costs on $18 of the $20 per food share donation it receives. The other $2 per guest (10%) stays with the local sponsoring church to be used to assist families in their own community with things like food, gas cards, utilities, and other needs.

♥ What to Expect at a Pop-Pantry ♥
There is a $20 donation per food share. We recommend you bring 2 boxes or totes with you to the Pop-Up Pantry. When you arrive at the Pop-Up Pantry for the first time, you will need to register and sign in. This is done for each Ruby’s location. This registration is simple and requires no documentation. At our Greenville location, you can pre-register for a time slot and arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time. The shares designated for pre-registration are only a portion of the total number of shares available. If pre-registration slots are filled, you can still attend the Pop-Up Pantry and sign in when you arrive. After the first time attending, you will not need to register again for that calendar year but just check in each time you come. You will be provided a number and once your number is called, you will be escorted through the line to receive your food share. Once your portion is filled, we provide drive-up service to make easy pick-up for your visit with us. We look forward to seeing you next month! Registration is open 8:00 – 10:00 am, or until portions run out. |
