Along with flowers, the Saint Paul Saints will be growing vegetables in their concourse this summer. And they are donating the produce to Second Harvest Heartland.
We are looking for one or two volunteers to take on the responsibility for harvesting this produce and getting it back to our warehouse or else to a local food shelf.
The Saints themselves will be planting, watering & weeding. Your task will be to monitor the vegetables, harvest them as they ripen, and get them to us or a local food shelf asap!
You will need to be able to commit to going over to Midway Stadium one or twice a week, starting in early June (or a little later, depending on the weather).
Business hours there are 9a-4p Mon-Fri, or whenever there's a home game.
Thank you.

Mission Statement
The mission of Second Harvest Heartland is to end hunger through community partnerships. At Second Harvest Heartland, our volunteer partners do more than enrich our work, they ground us to our mission of ending hunger together. We integrate volunteers into all aspects of creating and delivering solutions that will free our neighbors of hunger.
Description
More than a food bank, Second Harvest Heartland is a leading partner in the policies and programs that work to end hunger, like SNAP, school meals and senior nutrition programs, and we’re an innovator in the areas where food can be the solution, like FOODRx and Minnesota Central Kitchen.
Second Harvest Heartland is a member of Feeding America, a national network of more than 200 food banks serving every state in the United States. Membership means access to millions of pounds of surplus food and grocery donations from manufacturers and producers throughout the country.
Working with our network of partners, volunteers and donors as well as people like you, our 90,000+ square feet of dry, refrigerator and freezer space is constantly accepting and distributing donations. Our fleet of trucks travels nearly half a million miles a year, picking up food donations and delivering them to local food shelves, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, senior community centers and children's after school programs. Each year we distributed more than 100 million meals to our partners in hunger-relief. Learn more at 2harvest.org.
