I feel most sad for the children who didn’t vote for any of this and will go hungry. The adults in red states who voted for the war criminal-rapist can fuck off and starve.
Ruby’s Pantry, which distributed food at 87 locations across Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin, announced Tuesday it had immediately ended its operations. The organization helped more than 300,000 families every year, Minnesota Public Radio reports.
“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,” the organization’s statement reads.
“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.”
The public announcement didn’t provide specific reasons for the closure but in another statement to Minnesota Public Radio, the organization explained that “the ministry is no longer financially sustainable.”
They knew for a long while that they weren't financially solvent and they decided to shut down suddenly with no notice? The article doesn't mention anything about them working with those communities in need in preparation for this close down. That seems....troubling.
