Hunger and inadequate nutrition are again on the rise here in the Minneapolis – St. Paul areas, and with current economic conditions and trends, it can get worse. During the holidays especially, there seems to always be a great need. There are ways you can help, and working with or donating to Second Harvest Heartland is a great way to help in the fight against hunger in your own backyard.
Second Harvest Heartland is the Upper Midwest's largest hunger-relief organization with a recently updated mission to end hunger through community partnerships. Second Harvest Heartland forms the cornerstone of organizations working together to alleviate hunger in our 59 county service area. This year, SHH will deliver more than 34 million pounds of food to our 1,000+ non-profit member agencies and programs, including food shelves, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, senior community centers and children's after school programs.
Bernard Berrian of the Minnesota Vikings has donated a truckload full of turkeys to help feed hungry families this holiday season. But he knows there are thousands more people who need help in Minnesota - so he is challenging you to donate now.
Between November 24 and Christmas this year, Bernard will match all gifts up to $5,000 to put meals on the tables of children and their families.
Read Bernard's personal letter, watch his challenge video, or donate now to be sure your gift is matched.
For each $1 donated, Second Harvest Heartland will distribute more than $9 worth of grocery products to those in need in our communities. 96% of each dollar of revenue goes directly to our programs.
