On Inauguration Day, President-elect Obama will call for a renewed commitment to national service to take on the challenges our country faces. You can help lead the way by joining your fellow supporters across the country on January 19th, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, for a national day of service.

You can be part of a movement that will stretch from coast to coast, bringing together people from all walks of life acting as one nation, with a common purpose.

Our historic challenge in Minnesota is this: we need 10,000 people to make a commitment to join forces to end hunger. From the Land of 10,000 Lakes, we need 10,000 volunteers.

There are all kinds of ways to serve that benefit the people who rely on the food that is distributed through Second Harvest Heartland. Check our “Get Inspired” page. And let us know what you have planned. If you’d like to host an event on behalf of Second Harvest, you can register your event here for additional publicity.

More than 1,000 member agencies count on Second Harvest Heartland to provide the food they distribute to people in need. Can we count on you for your support?
