No waste. Great Food.

Why let good food go to waste? Join us to receive food, or to help volunteer.

Bloomington Living Hope Lutheran Church is proud to partner with Ruby's Pantry.  Ruby's Pantry is a non-profit organization that receives donations of food from local retailers and distributes them to frugal families throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin.  For more information about Ruby's Pantry, visit their website.

How does this work?

On the second Monday of each month Bloomington Lutheran Church will serve as a distribution site to provide food to help families stretch their food budgets. Registration starts at 4:30 pm and distribution of food will run from 5:00-6:30 pm.  Guests are asked to make a $25 donation to cover the costs of transportation and in return, they will receive a share of the food distribution.  Anyone who eats is welcome to participate, there are no residency or income limits or restrictions.

    Are you interested in Volunteering?

    We are in need of many volunteers to help before, during and after each distribution.  If you are interested in volunteering, you MUST complete the volunteer application BEFORE you sign up and someone will be in contact with you soon.  Any child volunteering also needs to fill out a separate application.  Please select the Bloomington location when you complete this form.  Thank you!  We look forward to serving with you!
