Come enjoy some beautiful spring weather while volunteering at the annual Get in Gear run at Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis!
Volunteers should be comfortable working in an energetic, outdoor environment and providing hospitality to runners. Youth volunteers must be 16 or older. Runner check-in volunteers will work with Get in Gear and Second Harvest Heartland Staff at the runners' check-in station to hand out runner packets and numbers. Shift time available: 11:45 am- 4:00pm.
This annual rite of spring has raised more than $129,000 to support Second Harvest Heartland's mission to end hunger. Any donations made in honor of a race team will be matched by Get in Gear, up to $5,000 - and Second Harvest Heartland has a race team again this year! See more information at www.2harvest.org/getingear.
Location: All volunteer activities will take place at the Minnehaha Park Pavilion, which is located East of the intersection of East Minnehaha Parkway and Hiawatha Avenue.
Sign-up: To officially register for a volunteer shift, please visit the Second Harvest Heartland webpage directly - 2harvest.org and click on the volunteer tab to see available opportunities and sign up.

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.
