Cargill Donates to Ruby’s Pantry

Cargill Kitchen Solutions made a recent donation to Ruby’s Pantry for $25,000. The Board of Directors, staff and volunteers of Ruby’s Pantry is very appreciative of gift to help our efforts in making life easier for those less fortunate. The objective has always been not only to help those in need but to have done it while allowing people to keep their dignity. Their contribution is yet another sign of the generosity of the people, the organizations and the companies that make up our great nation.

Ruby’s Pantry is in its seventh year of serving rural communities with donated surplus food and goods to fight hunger and disease. It provides large quantities of food for distributions directly to families in 20 rural communities covering sixteen underserved counties in Minnesota and Wisconsin distributing food to 4,000-5,000 families per month. 20 more distribution sites are planned for 2010 and early 2011 increasing the distribution to families to 8,000-10,000 families per month. Three semi-trucks and trailers have been added to help accommodate the need. Ruby’s Pantry is a community food outreach program of Home and Away Ministries, Inc. with its distribution and outreach centers at 39404 Grand Ave, North Branch, MN, 138 S Oborn St, Waupaca, WI, 24534 State Hwy 35 70, Siren, WI and its main offices at 1300 Northridge Drive, Suite 105, Pine City, MN.
