Perham Ruby’s Pantry Pop-Up at St. Paul’s Lutheran Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026
St. Paul's Lutheran in Perham opens registration at 7:00 AM Saturday for Ruby’s Pantry; $25 grocery bundles distributed from 8:00 AM at 500 6th Ave SW — bring 2–3 totes, limit two shares.

St. Paul’s Lutheran Church & School in Perham opens registration at 7:00 AM Saturday, Feb. 28, for Ruby’s Pantry’s monthly pop-up distribution, with food bundle distribution beginning at 8:00 AM at 500 6th Ave SW. Organizers say the event sells $25 grocery bundles and asks guests to bring 2–3 totes or baskets; St. Paul’s warns there is a limit of 2 shares per household.
Ruby’s Pantry’s Perham listing notes “Food bundles available 8:00-9:30 AM,” while St. Paul’s site adds that volunteers will “serve until food is gone.” Both schedules are posted for the 4th Saturday distribution pattern that brings the pop-up to Perham each month; registration is listed as beginning at 7:00 AM on the Ruby’s Pantry page.
Operational rules for the drive-through distribution are posted on St. Paul’s event page: guests must “stay in your vehicle,” “follow parking attendant directions,” and be prepared that “restrooms are unavailable.” The church’s page states “All volunteer positions have been filled” for this pop-up, and it repeats the instruction to bring multiple totes to receive the bundle.
St. Paul’s posts the event as open to anyone: “There is no income or residency requirement.” The church also posts a description of the offering: “For a $25 bundle donation, guests will receive an abundance of groceries.” The posted limit of two shares per household is intended to keep supplies available across attendees; the site does not specify the total number of bundles on hand or accepted payment methods.

Ruby’s Pantry is identified in published materials as “a ministry of Ruby’s Heart,” and the organization’s Perham page uses the tagline “giving found treasures a Kingdom purpose.” The Ruby’s Pantry site also carries an organization-wide hiring notice — “We're Hiring Drivers” — while an Instagram post for the Perham event repeats the Feb. 28 date, 8:00 AM start and $25 donation amount.
St. Paul’s lists local contact details for questions: “Contact Cindy at 346-6910,” Church Office 218-346-7725, School Office 218-346-2300, and email churchoffice@stpaulsperham.org. The church’s event page advises watchers to “Watch the Ruby's Pantry of Perham Facebook page for details on upcoming distributions - changes have been made to meet COVID-19 guidelines.”
St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Perham hosts the monthly pop-up as part of the congregation’s outreach; the church is listed as “A Member of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod” on its site. Residents planning to attend Saturday should arrive for 7:00 AM registration, bring 2–3 totes, expect a drive-through process, and note the $25 bundle donation and two-share household limit.
