Give to the Max Day
Join us as we gather together to raise funds to provide 2 million meals for neighbors facing hunger. Gifts matched now through Nov 20, thanks to ADM and other generous sponsors.
Giving Gathers Us. On November 20, join together with your fellow Minnesotans for Give to the Max Day—Minnesota’s biggest giving day of the year—and help provide over 2 million meals!
Starting November 1, your gift can DOUBLE in impact: Every $1 you donate can go twice as far to provide 6 meals for neighbors facing hunger, thanks to matching funds from ADM, Cargill Foundation, Post Consumer Brands, The Mosaic Company, and other generous sponsors.
Hunger is on the rise in Minnesota. The rising cost of groceries, coupled with the impacts of the government shutdown and the biggest cuts to SNAP in history, is creating impossible choices for the 1 in 5 Minnesota families facing food insecurity. Too many neighbors are one flat tire or medical bill away from an empty fridge.
And with Thanksgiving just around the corner, more and more neighbors are looking to Second Harvest Heartland and our hunger-relief partners for help to get food on their table.
Give to the Max Day—and the support provided by friends like you—plays a critical role in making sure we have the resources to help our neighbors get the food they need to thrive.
