Take action against hunger by volunteering as an individual or organizing a group for our Brooklyn Park site.
In this role, volunteers sort and re-pack bulk food such as rice or produce into consumer size packages, or sort and salvage damaged products or food items. These items go to our partner agencies & programs, including food shelves and soup kitchens that serve people at risk for hunger. Minimum age to volunteer is 8; this opportunity is open to youth ages 8-9 who are volunteering with a parent/guardian and youth ages 10-17 with chaperones.
Shifts available Tuesday through Saturday at a variety of times (morning, afternoon and/or evening). Check our online calendar at 2harvest.org/volunteer or email volunteer@2harvest.org for more information!

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.
