We need your help at the 16th anniversary of Dish: Cuisine for Change on May 2, 2019 at the Saint Paul RiverCentre! As Second Harvest Heartland’s signature fundraising gala, Dish brings the community together to raise funds and awareness to help end hunger in our local communities. We can't put on a successful event without volunteers like you!
We are in need of help for the following roles:
- Guest Registration (4:30pm-8:00pm): As a Guest Registration Volunteer, your responsibilities will include greeting the guests as they arrive, finding and explaining the contents of their registration packet to them, scanning their credit card, and directing them into the event. You’ll be working with laptops and bar code scanners, so minimal technical experience is required.
- Raffle (4:45pm-8:00pm): Raffle Volunteers will work in pairs to circulate the event to let guests know about the raffle and sell tickets. These people must be outgoing and comfortable interacting with guests and asking them to purchase raffle tickets.
- Live Auction Spotters (6:45pm-9:30pm): Spotters will act as a visual liaison between bidders and the live auctioneer by pointing out bidders. They will also assist bidders with questions on their electronic bid pads. Volunteers in this role need to be comfortable in front of crowds.
**Volunteers must be age 21 or older.

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.
