I am contacting you today on behalf of Rubys Pantry, hoping together we can help feed the hungry families in Minnesota and Wisconsin with low resources. Many families, who through no fault of their own, are struggling to put food on the table. We all personally know people like this that have:Lost their jobs and income because of the economy.Depleted their unemployment benefits, still unemployed or are now under-employed.Folks who have lost their healthcare coverage or cannot afford proper coverage.RUBYS PANTRY NEEDS YOUR HELPPlease consider a food donation. We will come to you with one of our refrigerated straight trucks or semis to pick up any size donation in a timely fashion. We accept almost anything, canned goods, dry goods, refrigerated-frozen goods, produce, institution packaged or grocer packed, damaged, bulk goods, personal hygiene products, short dated items and surplus of all kinds. Would you consider a financial contribution to help cover operational cost like transportation and warehouse expenses?Perhaps consider an in-kind donation such as trucks, semi-trucks and reefer-trailers, forklifts, pallet jacks, pallet racks, office equipment, furniture, computer technology, etc.Rubys Pantry, a 501c3 non-profit organization, was formed in 2003 to provide children, families, and seniors with quality nutritious food and fresh produce. We distribute food through churches, community centers, armories and other organizations. There are no income requirements and we turn no one away. This simply would not be possible without people like you and organizations like yours who have been beside us since day one. Through those efforts we may serve up to 1 million pounds of food to approximately 8,000 families per month through 32 hosted distribution sites with a volunteer force of about 4,000 people.We receive no federal, state, county funds, grants or government commodities to support our mission. That is why we need your help!
