One Day. One Goal. One Million Meals.

This 24-Hour Harvest, let’s come together to raise enough funds to provide ONE MILLION MEALS for our neighbors facing hunger here in the heartland. When you give now through April 22, your gift can be matched, thanks to our generous sponsors. That means DOUBLE the meals on the tables of our neighbors across Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

24-Hour Harvest comes at a time when our community is facing a hunger crisis. One in five Minnesota families already can’t afford the food they need. Rising costs of living and cuts to federal grocery assistance programs are poised to make it even more difficult for neighbors to fill their fridges.  

Our community has shown this year just how strong and resilient we are. When we come together, we can make a real difference—supporting one another through countless acts of kindness and compassion. 24-Hour Harvest is an opportunity to extend that same kindness to neighbors facing hunger.

Reaching this one million meal goal takes all of us. Here are a few ways you can join in:

  • Double your impact! Donate now and your gift can be matched, thanks to our generous sponsors. You can make TWICE the difference for your neighbors in need.
  • Fundraise with us! Invite your community to join you as we fund one million meals for 24-Hour Harvest. It’s easy to start your fundraiser at https://www.2harvest.org/ways-to-give/host-virtual-fund-drive.
  • Spread the word! Reshare Second Harvest Heartland’s social posts with your network or create your own using the hashtag #24HourHarvest. Join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn.
  • Watch us on TV! Throughout the day on April 22, you can find us featured on local stations. Tune into KARE-11, WCCO, KSTP, FOX9, My29 and 45TV to see 24-Hour Harvest in action.

The Road to One Million Meals Starts Now

24-Hour Harvest Giving Day is approaching, but you don’t have to wait to help make one million meals possible! Donate now through April 22, and your gift can be matched to provide TWICE the meals for neighbors facing hunger. Match funds are limited, so consider giving early to lock in the power to double your donation.   Your support helps build the momentum needed to reach our goal on 24-Hour Harvest.
