Last Minute Call for Help: Minneapolis & Maplewood

Just one hour of your time helps provide over 75 meals for our neighbors in need!

Each week, RSVP partner Second Harvest Heartland seeks to fill over 300 volunteer slots. While every hour of volunteer time equates to 75 meals, every shift we are not able to fill means 75 meals are not getting to those who are food insecure. Please consider joining us if you can spare a couple hours.

In the next two weeks, we have the following shifts we are hoping to fill:

Open Shifts at Maplewood (1140 Gervais Ave)

Tuesday, February 15th, or Friday February 18th, 1:00-4:00: Come work on our assembly line and pack boxes of food for low-income seniors and families


Open Shifts at our Minneapolis Service Center (3100 California St NE)

Thursday, February 24th 9:00-12:00: Every Thursday morning we generously receive a donation of tortillas. In order to keep those shipments coming we need to ensure we have a group of individuals to sort and repack them.

Tuesday, February 22nd 9:00-12:00 and Monday, February 28th 1:00-3:00: Have a open morning or afternoon free and looking to volunteer? Here is your opportunity! On Tuesday the 22nd in the morning and Monday the 28th in the afternoon the Minneapolis Service Center is looking for individuals to help sort and repack donated dried goods for our partner food shelves, soup kitchens and homeless shelters.

If you would like to help us with one of the above-referenced shifts, please contact Jane by email http://www.blogger.com/jshade@2harvest.org or phone at 651.209.7917.

If you are not able to participate in these particular shifts, please know we can use your help for other shifts in the longer term! Thank you again for partnering with us in this important work of alleviating food insecurity in our state.
